All Shapes. One Solution.

Repeatable positioning and reliable results for every shape and size: Discover how the ST50 tablet hardness tester enables simple, accurate, and compliant semi-automatic testing, even for the most complex tablet geometries.

Featuring patented SmartAlign™ and SmartLift™ technology, the ST50 hardness tester reliably positions all standard tablet shapes with ease in the integrated measuring station – including round, oval, oblong, and other geometries.

But what about extremely convex tablets that roll during alignment? Diamond or teardrop-shaped dosage forms that require precise ‘tip-to-tip’ positioning? Non-symmetrical tablets that defy consistent alignment?

With many automated hardness testers, these scenarios often mean reverting to manual measurements. Not with the ST50 – world’s most flexible hardness tester. For very unconventional or difficult-to-process tablets, the unit readily accepts a tool-free, exchangeable custom carousel designed for precise alignment and automated positioning of irregular or complex tablet geometries – ensuring consistent hardness measurements without sacrificing throughput or accuracy.

Pharmacopeial standards emphasize uniform testing conditions, but complex shapes often lack an obvious orientation. With custom carousels, you can standardize positioning, safeguard data integrity, and achieve high-quality results across batches.
