Texture Technologies has served hundreds of pharmaceutical companies throughout the USA, Canada, and Mexico for almost 20 years. Our texture measurement instruments are popular in both commercial Research & Development environments as well as Colleges of Pharmacy. Commercial and academic pharmaceutical laboratories use the instrument to design new formulations and controlled delivery mechanisms. Quality Control / Quality Assurance departments use our texture analysis equipment to ensure product consistency between different plants, batches and shifts and to establish reproducible specifications for suppliers.
The Stable Micro Systems’ family of texture analysis texture analysis instruments is extremely easy-to-use and very flexible, providing accurate and reproducible test results. The TA.XTPlus, TA.HDPlus, and TA.XTExpress Texture Analyzers are simple to calibrate and easy to validate, offering researchers and engineers more than traditional test methods. Our Texture Analyzers are used extensively for the testing of prescribed medication as well as over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements. Most textural analysis parameters can be easily quantified with the TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzers and Exponent software programs and some attributes can only be measured with our instruments.
Some of the many pharmaceutical products that our product testing equipment can analyze include: adhesives, absorbent materials, bandages and labels, bones and ligaments, capsules, cough syrups, creams, pastes, lotions and ointments, deodorant sticks and similar products, fast disintegration tablets, fillers and incipient, firm and soft gels, foams and sponges, medical, cosmetic, and silicon gels, medical tapes, microspheres and micro-pellets, muco-adhesives and bio-adhesives, needle sharpness, ointments, packaging material, pellets, powders, soft encapsulated gels, spermicidal foams, tablets, topicals, transdermals and patches, suppositories, and syringes.
Some of the many physical properties that can be analyzed using the Texture Analyzer include: absorption and swelling, adhesion and tackiness, bloom strength, bone strength, brittleness, cohesion, compaction, disintegration, extensibility, fracturability, green strength and cure behaviors, hardness and softness, peel strength, powder and pellet compaction properties, powder flowability, powder cohesiveness, and powder attrition, relaxation, resilience, shear strength and creep, shelf life, slipperiness / smoothness, stringiness and 'legs,' swelling - pressure, forces & distance, syringability, tensile and film strength, and tablet coating adhesion.
