Efficient density measurement solution for the pharma industry
Combining a gas pycnometer and envelope density analyzer to measure critical parameters for solid dosage forms Norcross, GA, USA – 05 March 2020 Micromeritics Instrument Corp., a global leader in material characterization technology, is shining the spotlight on the value of its Micromeritics AccuPyc II pycnometer and Micromeritics GeoPyc envelope density analyzer bundle, an efficient, comprehensive solution for density measurement for the pharmaceutical industry. The AccuPyc II and GeoPyc both measure volume by pycnometry, a displacement technique, but using different media. Together they determine a range of density parameters for pharmaceutical powders, granules, compacted ribbons and tablets (coated or uncoated). These parameters characterize the performance of key processes such as tableting and roller compaction, and influence critical quality attributes such as hardness, disintegration and dissolution profile. Fast, automated and efficient the latest AccuPyc II model 1345 and GeoPyc 1365 can be used to measure solid dosage forms from R&D, through manufacturing, and into
