Benchtop hardness tester SBT 2

deviceholdingfor medical applications

The suppository hardness tester (type SBT 2) consists of an electrically heated chamber with an integrated sample holder and a series of interchangeable plastic inserts for holding suppositories of different sizes. Once the desired temperature is reached, the hardness is tested using weights ( included as standard) which are gradually placed on the device until the suppository collapses under the load of the added weights. The results are expressed in terms of the total weight required to collapse the suppository.
