EVALUTION STUDIES:
1.WEIGHT VARIATION: Twenty tablets were randomly selected from each batch individually
weigh, the average weight and standard deviation of 20 tablet calculated.
3.Bulk density: To calculate the bulk density of tablet, you can use the following
formula:
ρ = m/V
formula: 𝑚/𝑉f
4.TAPPED DENSITY: To calculate the tapped density of tablet, you can use the following
5.THICKNESS: The thickness of the tablet was measured by using digital vernier caliper,
twenty tablets from each batch were randomly selected and thickness was measured.
6.HARDNESS: Hardness was measured using hardness tester, for each batch three tablet
were tested.
7.% FRIABILITY: Twenty tablets were weighed and placed in the Roche Friabilator and
apparatus was rotated at 25 rpm for 4 min.
After revolution the tablets were dusted weight.
% loss= (initial wt. of tablets – final wt. of tablets /initial wt. of tablet) x 100
8.DISINTEGRATION TEST:
The disintegration time is determined by using disintegration apparatus.
Randomly select 6 tablets and Place them in the disintegration basket containing
900ml of phosphate buffer pH 7.8, maintaining the temperature at 37±20C as this is
the required temperature per monograph to run disintegration test.
Note the time taken for complete disintegrate in to small particles.
Perform the test in triplicate and note down the average time taken by the tablets
for disintegration
