About This Product
In a pharmaceutics practical, students load uncoated tablets, set the pan turning and apply coats in stages, changing pan speed, spray rate and air temperature to see how each affects the finish. The coated batch can then be checked for weight uniformity, hardness and dissolution in later practicals. Schools, colleges and institutes in Morocco, Barbados, Yemen, Luxembourg, Cabo Verde and Botswana can order the Polishing Pan from Educational Instrument.
