Real-time analysis
The CUB-X delivers high-speed, non-destructive analysis of tablets using NIR-SRS spectroscopy, capable of measuring API mass fraction and moisture content on up to 20,000 tablets per hour. At the same time, tablets can be automatically sampled at speeds of up to 400 tablets per hour for detailed measurements of mass, thickness, diameter or length, and hardness.
This powerful combination allows manufacturers to analyze each tablet for API content, while sampled units are evaluated for dosage accuracy, porosity, and content uniformity. The result is complete process control and consistent product quality.
Embedded technologies
NIR-SRS spectroscopy
High-speed 4P tablet testing
High-precision tablet laser profiler
A laser line-scanning sensor profiles each tablet, while passing under the sensor, measuring its thickness with a precision of 50 µm. The tablet laser profiler also verifies the correct position and orientation of the tablet on the conveyor belt before it passes under the NIR-SRS sensor.
Each tablet is inspected by the multipoint NIR-SRS (Near-Infra-Red Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy) probe at a high frame rate, allowing multiple spectral acquisitions per tablet. An accurate prediction of one or multiple ingredients’ mass fraction – including water – is then done by chemometric modelling. The SRS technology allows to cover a larger tablet surface and a deeper measurement penetration compared to single-point NIR reflection techniques, resulting in more accurate prediction of the CQA’s.
Samples can be sent to an embedded 4-parameter tablet tester at a rate of up to 400 tablets/h, measuring tablet mass, thickness, diameter/length, and hardness. The high sampling rate is achieved thanks to a purpose-designed sampling gate, which feeds tablets one by one directly to the measurement instruments
