Put it to the Test – Q&A with Charles Ischi

Q: What are the key things manufacturers should consider when selecting testing equipment for oral solid dosage applications?

A: The key thing is to ask yourself ‘what is the best tester functionality for this application?’. At that point, factor in things such as efficiency, ease-of-use, robustness and reliability.

Then, in terms of more technical specifics, you need to analyse the data integrity of the system you’re choosing to invest in. Think about network compatibility and data export features. Good testing equipment for oral solid dosage forms should exhibit flexible interfaces for data exchange with customer data management systems.
