Description
The BIOBASE BCS-2 Tablet Friability Tester is a benchtop pharmaceutical quality-control instrument designed to evaluate the mechanical stability, abrasion resistance, and collision resistance of tablets during production, packaging, storage, and transportation. The system can also be used to assess the friability characteristics of coated tablets and capsules.
Its synchronized dual-drum configuration supports efficient sample evaluation, while transparent acrylic drums provide clear visibility throughout the test cycle. Intelligent speed and rotation-count controls help laboratories conduct repeatable tablet durability testing using preset and real-time operating values.
