Overview
The FRVi series and Friabimat testers from Copley provide reproducible, cost-efficient friability testing for a wide range of tablet types, enabling analysts to characterise tendency to chip, crumble or break.

Product summary — Friabimat SA-400
For very hard or robust solid dosage forms that are outside the scope of conventional friability testers, the Friabimat SA-400 delivers higher-energy abrasive input to generate measurable surface mass loss. The instrument is designed to produce the abrasive forces required to characterise these dosage forms and is described in Ph. Eur. 2.9.41 (Method B).

Key features

• Quantifiable abrasion for hard tablets, granules and pellets
• Suitable for coated tablets
• Pharmacopoeial compliance: Ph. Eur. (Method B) with USP-relevant design considerations
• Stainless steel case suitable for production environments
• Clear acrylic lid with magnetic interlock for safe operation
• Single oscillating container test station (1 oscillating container)
• Optional oscillation frequency verification certificate available
