Enhanced safety features, such as an automatic stop at the end of each test cycle and a secure drum lock, provide added operational assurance, while low noise and simple maintenance increase user comfort.
FAQs of Friability Rate Test Apparatus:
Q: How can the Friability Rate Test Apparatus be used in pharmaceutical laboratories?
A: To use the apparatus, load tablets into the transparent drum, set the programmable digital timer for the desired cycle (up to 99 minutes), and start the test. The drum rotates at a fixed 25 RPM, simulating real-world handling to measure the tablets friability. Once the cycle ends, the apparatus automatically stops for safe tablet retrieval and result analysis.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this apparatus for tablet testing?
A: This apparatus ensures precise, repeatable friability measurements with minimal user intervention. Its digital display, fixed rotational speed, and automatic stopping mechanism help deliver accurate results. The units durable, corrosion-resistant construction and easy maintenance design contribute to long-term usage and reduced downtime.
Q: When is it necessary to perform a friability test using this instrument?
A: Friability testing is typically conducted during the quality control phase of pharmaceutical tablet manufacturing, especially when developing new formulations or evaluating production batches. The test verifies that tablets can withstand handling, packaging, and transport without excessive chipping or breaking.
Q: Where should this apparatus be operated for optimal safety and performance?
A: This friability rate test apparatus is designed specifically for use in laboratory environments. It is not suitable for field operations. Ensure the device is installed on a stable surface in an ambient-temperature room with standard laboratory conditions, away from direct moisture and dust.
Q: What is the process for maintaining and cleaning the apparatus?
A: Maintenance is minimal and mainly involves periodically checking and cleaning the high-grade acrylic drum, which is easily removable for quick access. The stainless steel and acrylic exterior should be wiped clean with appropriate non-corrosive solutions to preserve longevity and performance.
Q: What safety features are included in this friability apparatus?
A: For enhanced safety, the apparatus features an automatic stop at the end of the test cycle, a drum lock to prevent accidental opening during operation, and a low operating noise level. These measures help ensure safe, uninterrupted laboratory use.
Q: What makes this apparatus suitable for pharmaceutical and research use?
A: Its accurate, semi-automatic function, stable fixed speed, and programmable timing make it ideal for quality assurance and formulation research in pharmaceutical labs. The robust build, corrosion resistance, and user-friendly controls facilitate consistent and precise friability testing in both manufacturing and research settings.
