Pharmaceutical Material Testing Equipment

Pharmaceutical material testing instruments analyze the properties of the final, physical state of manufactured pharmaceutical products. Material qualities that may be tested for include cohesive and adhesive forces, fracturability, dynamic stability, chemical stability and projected shelf life. The proper distribution of blended solids in low dosage products may also be measured. Samples may also be rapidly scanned and identified with portable material verification instruments.

The more stable a pharmaceutical compound, the more reliable its therapeutic behavior will be. Purchasing considerations for pharmaceutical material testing instruments include the intended use, the material properties to be tested for, and the desired portability of the equipment.
