Physical testing

3. Physical Testing

• Dissolution Testers (USP I–IV): Release profiling for tablets, capsules, and transdermals.

• Disintegration Testers: Compliance testing for oral dosage forms (USP <701>).

• Hardness Testers: Tablet tensile strength analysis to prevent capping/lamination.

• Particle Size Analyzers (Laser Diffraction): Optimize API micronization (QbD alignment).

• Karl Fischer Titrators: Moisture analysis in hygroscopic APIs (USP <921>).

• Friability Testers: Assess tablet durability under mechanical stress (USP <1216>).

• Viscometers: Rheology testing for syrups, gels, and topical formulations.
