Hardness has long been regarded as an important quality characteristic of tablets. Until recently, only two practical types of tablet hardness testers were available to the pharmaceutical industry. A new addition to this field of testing has just been made. An evaluation of the new instrument includes test comparisons against existing tablet hardness test equipment.Pharmaceutical Equipment Standard operating procedure of Tablet Hardness Tester for performance of tablet Hardness Tester of pfizer stokes monsanto strong cobb for quality control is given below.
