8M-BASIC
The 8M-BASIC tablet hardness tester is the ideal choice to execute simple tablet hardness tests without T1 / T2 limits. It's proved design delivers highly reliable test results with maximum repeatability due to it's precise mechanic construction. Tablets (or other test objects) are being placed in the machine by hand. Reports including statistical analasys are ready to be printed in approved formats, in compliance with the guidelines of international regulatory offices.

Proven tablet hardness testing
Its robust design with cast housing and trouble-free operation have made the 8M-BASIC a favourite at pharmaceutical companies all over the world. It simply gets the job done:
- Precise measuring of tablet hardness (= break force)
- Testing of virtually all tablet shapes and sizes
- Excellent accessibility of the test area
- Printing of reports incl. statistics
- Reliable calibration and verification
- Fully USP and EP compliant design
Testing of virtually all tablet shapes
A wide range of special jaws is available to perform tests on uncommon tablet shapes or other materials. If you are looking for a custom test, our application specialists are happy to help you designing a test setup specifically for your application. Currently available jaws for special applications include:
- Shear jaw, for bi-layer tablets
- Jaw for 3-point break
- Special jaw, for large test objects (e.g. wash tabs)
- Special jaw, for ampoules
- Special jaw, for extruded materials
Simple operation
Operating the 8M-BASIC is simple. Test menus, test parameters and results are shown on the LC display. Products can be programmed either via the standard panel or by connecting a keyboard for fast data entry.
On completion of a test run, a comprehensive test report is printed automatically. Each report shows all product and test parameters, the calibration date and individually measured values with statistical analysis.
Documentation and calibration
Each 8M-BASIC is calibrated, verified and tested according to strict quality procedures before it leaves our factory. An internal test report is included with each tester.
Regular calibration and verification using traceable weights is recommended to ensure accurate results at all times. To quickly check the hardness measuring functionality of your 8M-BASIC before a test is performed, function checking devices (FCD) with a rating of 5Kp, 10Kp, 15Kp and 20Kp can be used.
