Tablet Friabilator
R. D. Laboratories, Inc. utilizes an Electrolab EF-2 for friability testing of tablets. Tablet friability can be used to measure efficiency of tabletting equipment or as an indicator of formulation suitability as well as routine QC functions. It can also be thought of as measuring “dusting”. Tablets are rotated in a plastic drum for a specified period of time. A gravimetric determination is then made to quantitate the amount of surface material that has worn off.
