CORE TABLETS:
1. Physical Appearance:
White color, oblong shaped core tablets, one side is scored with bisects line and other side is plain
2. Identification:
Retention time of sample peak corresponds to the Retention time of standard peak.
3. Average Weight:
Weigh 20 Tablets individually and calculate Average weight mg/Tab.
4. Disintegration Time:
Take 6 tablets for disintegration test. After attaining the required temperature put the sample tablets, one
in each of six tubes of basket assembly and place discs in each tube. Start the apparatus.
Note down the time when no residue remains on the wire mesh. The disintegration time is considered as
the time when the last tablet has disintegrated.
5. Hardness:
Take NLT 10 tablets for recording hardness of Tablets, Calculate average of readings in kg/f.
6. Friability:
Weigh 20 tablets sample and put in Friability chamber and start rotating after completion of rotating
weigh sample and observe that the sample is free from cracked, cleaved or broking. Calculate the %
