QUALITY CONTROL TESTS TABLETS GRANULES / POWDERS & IPQC TEST Figure 27. Properties of Granules/Powders. hould be flowable S ○ QC Test: Angle of Repose Should compressible ○ QC Test: Hausner Ratio and Compressibility Ratio ○ QC tests found in USP chapter for powder flow IPQCisperformedonthegranulesandtabletsatthestart of the compression process ○ granules - test it to see if it is appropriate for compression Figure 29. Machine for Bulk Density ○ requirement:beforetableting,thegranulesshouldbe flowable and compressible ethod 1: Graduated cylinder M compressible-thetabletneedstobeacompact ○ weigh a specific amount of material, and place it solid mass inside Method 2: Volumeter IPQC TESTS ○ has a baffle system, and can show the flowability Particle Size Distribution - (786) Bulk Density and Tapped Density - (616) ○ this is where the data for Hausner ratio and compressibility index is based on Powder Flow - (1174) Moisture Content ○ product = solid = should be dry ○ moisture should be minimal ○ can affect powder flow ○ can stick to the diff parts of the equipment ARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION P Analytical Sieving ○ For particles >75um ○ Not for oily or cohesive particles Methods Figure 29.
