The first fully automated powder compaction analysis system developed by GAMLEN. The Development Series: D500 & D1000.
The Gamlen D series includes the Gamlen Powder Compaction Analyzer and Tablet Tensile Analyzer (TTA).
21CFR11 Compliant Option
Application
- Generate USP <1062> compaction data
- Assess and optimise tablet lubrication
- Fast and effective formulation development
- Alternative supplier evaluation
- Process or formulation change evaluation
- Pre-formulation studies
- Establish API intrinsic compaction properties
- Troubleshoot manufacturing issues
The Gamlen D-Series range represents our most advanced powder compaction analysers. These instruments allow the user to assess compaction behaviour without any prior tableting knowledge so are ideal for both compaction novices and experts alike. Portable and easy to learn, you will be generating useful results within minutes.
The D-Series powder compaction analyzers have been designed to facilitate fully automated compaction analysis. Combine it with the Gamlen Dashboard software for the worlds first automated compaction analysis system. Automated analysis prevents data entry errors while ensuring fast, consistent analysis.
The D-Series includes an integrated detachment force measurement mechanism. Detachment force is force used to detach tablets from the lower punch during manufacture. As high detachment forces are indicative of poor lubrication, detachment data is particularly useful when investigating sticking/picking issues.
Unique Integrated Detachment Force Measurement
The patented integrated detachment mechanism consists of a rotating die and simple lever. This allows compaction, detachment and ejection operations to be carried out with no need for awkward re-configuration.

USP <1062> Tablet Compression Characterisation
The D-Series is designed to be used with the Gamlen dashboard software for fully automated compaction analysis. The software automatically generates all lubrication and USP <1062> compaction data (compactibility, compressibility and tabletability). This allows you to easily rank your formulations against all standard tablet Critical Quality Attributes prior to entering into manufacture.
