The revolutionary Gamlen R500 provides precise data using tiny amounts of material. This unique compaction analyzer works by monitoring punch force and position which are displayed in real time. Using the Gamlen R500, you will be able to quickly identify the differences in the compaction behaviour and lubrication properties of different APIs, excipients, processes and formulations. Its integrated measurement system allows you to analyze compaction, ejection and fracture events on a single instrument. This makes the Gamlen R500 ideal for both teaching and research. The Gamlen R500 requires no other special equipment and gives the student the opportunity to learn first-hand about the critical parameters in tablet compaction. Learning with the Gamlen R500 highlights the importance of understanding material and product quality attributes. In addition, the simplicity of the press enables teachers to easily demonstrate the key principals of quality by design now routinely used in tablet formulation. A webcam can easily be mounted on the press so that it can be displayed on a large screen to multiple students at the same time. KEY BENEFITS: -Tablet compaction, ejection and fracture on one instrument -Generates all USP <1062> data -Provides compaction and ejection profiles -Proven to be indicative of plant behaviour -Software aids users to evaluate results -Easy comparison of different materials/formulations -Quick and easy to use -Pre-compression options -Multi-layer tablet options -All data automatically exported to excel -Requires minimal bench space -Suitable for GMP testing -Minimal material required to generate useful results (typically 1.5 g) -Suitable for use in protected or controlled GMP environment -Significantly less expensive than powder compaction analysis -Minimal training required (typically <2hr) -Minimal method development – test conditions unchanged 90% of the time -Minimal troubleshooting and maintenance -Compaction speed range 0.01 to 3 mm/s -Upgradeable to Gamlen D series
