Quantify Physical Properties of Pharmaceutical Products With
The TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzer

Testing the physical characteristics of pharmaceutical products is extremely easy with the TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzer.

The instrument is extremely easy to use, very flexible, accurate and reproduciable.  It is simple to calibrate and easy to validate that calibration.

The instrument's many capabilities are why it is an extremely popular tool for quantifying physical parameters.  It provides so much more information than traditional test methods (eg. peak force of tablet crush-style tests) that you can actually see the subtle differences caused by changes in ingredients, excipients or processes.

The instrument is popular in Pharmaceutical Research & Development departments and in Colleges of Pharmacy.  Production departments use the TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzer to provide product consistency between different plants, batches and shifts, and Quality Control & Quality Assurance departments use the TA.XT2Plus Texture Analyzer to establish reproducible texture specifications for internal production as well as for supplier specifications. We have extensive pharmaceutical industry references.  Please ask us about our references, our brochures, application studies, and article reprints on topics and products of interest to you.
