The new generation MultiTest 50 sets new standards in testing up to five physical parameters (weight, thickness, width, diameter/length, and hardness) of virtually all tablet shapes with one single unit. In full compliance with current Pharmacopeia requirements, the system offers the highest precision, flexibility and exceptional user-friendliness. Besides fast and efficient operation, the MultiTest 50 provides accurate and highly reliable test data, resulting in increased productivity and ease of regulatory compliance.

100% Precision

Powerful state-of-the-art electronics, a precision S-beam load cell and solid mechanical components provide for extremely accurate results. Samples are individually placed into the MultiTest 50 testing area. The innovative, practical design means that all shapes, including oblong, diamond, hexagon and other special shapes, can be reliably positioned and measured.

Simple tablet handling

The open and accessible test area allows for simple tablet orientation by the operator. To assist with the alignment of very convex shapes, the MultiTest 50 features quick-change tongues that can be exchanged in a matter of seconds.

Fast and reliable

The entire measuring process has been optimised for efficient operation – allowing operators to quickly perform a series of tests without unproductive waiting times due to jaw homing procedures commonly seen with other hardness testers. Even in demanding environments, the robust construction guarantees highly accurate and reliable measurements.

Fast, Faster, FastTest

In 'FastTest' configuration, the MultiTest 50 is a multipurpose instrument that accumulates measurements from an integrated thickness gauge and from an external analytical balance in a single test report. Instead of collecting data individually and having to deal with various reports, all results are automatically evaluated and documented.

Ease of regulatory compliance included

On completion of a test, comprehensive test reports including statistics can be directly printed from the tester on a serial, USB or Ethernet LAN printer without requiring any PC software. As a standard, test reports can be configured according to individual requirements. Password-protected access with different user levels ensures that only authorised personnel can modify set-up data.

Swiss quality

High quality components paired with Swiss precision engineering provide for a long product life and minimise costly machine downtime. To ensure maximum reliability, the MultiTest 50 is tested according to strict internal quality standards before its leaves the factory.

Tablet hardness testing

With more than 40 years of experience and more than 20,000 testers in the market, Dr Schleuniger hardness measuring technology is a safe investment. The MultiTest 50 offers consistently accurate test results and fully complies with current USP (chapter 1217, tablet breaking force) and EP (2.9.8, resistance to crushing of tablets) requirements.
