Datasheet: Model 6D(SG) Soft Gelatin Capsule Tester

The 6D(SG) Soft Gelatin Capsule Tester is the soft gel variant of the world renowned model 6D tablet hardness tester. It is capable of measuring any shape liquid and cream filled Soft Gelatin Capsules for deflection and burst strength. The 6D(SG) uses a combination of precision potentiometer and load cell technology to precisely determine the diameter and force applied to each capsule. The instrument's accuracy is east to maintain and you can calibrate or verify the instrument yourself in a matter of minutes using NIST traceable weights and gauge blocks. The operator can test individual samples or batches of up to 100 capsules. In semi automated mode a programmable delay gives you time to place the capsule in the correct position. The operator can select the following modes of operation.

• Force required to compress a programmed % of (uncompressed) deflection.
• Force required to compress to a pre-selected distance
• Force required to burst the capsule
• Amount of deflection for a pre-selected amount of force

Optional quick change fixtures make sample alignment easy and repeatable. An easy to use menu makes product set up a snap. The 6D(SG) accommodates a plain paper 40 column printer where a comprehensive report is generated automatically after the completion of a test. Using the companion user friendly TabStat 2000 software makes data storage and batch evaluation an easy task. You can even export date and generate custom reports using MS Excel.
