Tabletability

DON'T BE DECEIVED BY YOUR DATA:

In the intricate world of tablet compression, shaped tooling consistently stands out, primarily due to the comprehensive, incisive data it discloses about your tablet formulation during the compression process. Its aptitude for constructing complex shapes and applying diverse forces provides a matchless insight into the distinctive properties and responses of your formulation throughout compression. This is particularly crucial when flat-face punches might conceal issues such as capping, low hardness or strength, friability, and dissolution problems. Understanding that if the final tablet shape varies from what is tested, the collected data becomes solely applicable to those unique conditions is fundamental. Simply put, it’s the science of the process. 

As your operations expand to cater to heightened production volumes, the data harvested via shaped tooling becomes indispensable, offering a reliable blueprint for your formulation’s behavior under varied compression scenarios. Unlike the confined outlook provided by flat-face tooling, shaped tooling bestows a comprehensive understanding of your formulation’s performance across different designs. Moreover, it enables superior control over compaction time and force distribution, pivotal factors in ensuring tablet quality and consistency. Why constrain your growth with substandard data? 

Avoid the pitfalls of flat-faced testing that could potentially hamper your tablet manufacturing process. 

Instead, choose shaped tooling testing and unveil a plethora of data that can adeptly steer your production process. The core message is clear: Cup Configuration significantly influences USP<1062> accuracy. Break away from the limitations of flat-faced testing. Let Natoli Scientific be the catalyst in your tablet compression transformation.

Compressibility: Solid Fraction and Tablet Porosity

Compressibility focuses on the relationship between solid fraction and applied compression pressure. Solid fraction quantifies the tablet's solid content relative to the powder's true density, while tablet porosity measures the air content within a fully compressed tablet. Through USP <1062> guidelines, you can optimize compression to achieve desired solid fractions and minimize tablet porosity, ensuring robust tablet mechanical strength.

Compactibility: Tensile Strength And Solid Fraction

Tensile Strength and Solid Fraction Compactibility examines the relationship between tablet mechanical strength and solid fraction. Tablets with high solid fractions exhibit increased mechanical strength until critical limits are reached. USP <1062> provides guidance on optimizing compactibility to ensure tablets meet the desired strength requirements, while avoiding potential issues such as capping.

Tabletability: Mechanical Strength & Compression Pressure

Tabletability focuses on the relationship between tablet mechanical strength and compression pressure. Initially, as compression pressure increases, tablet mechanical strength improves. However, there reaches a point where it levels off. USP <1062> offers valuable insights to optimize compression pressure and achieve the desired mechanical strength while avoiding manufacturing challenges.
