How to Perform a Standardized Tapped Density Test for Pharmaceutical Powders

Tapped density is a significant parameter to explore the compressibility and flowability of pharmaceutical powders, which is useful to promote the approach of Quality by Design (QbD) and good manufacturing practices (GMPs). Standardization of apparatus and procedure is vital to get meaningful repeatable results. In this application note, standardized tapped density tests of three excipients were performed by the BeDensi T Pro Series with 3 workstations. It is worthy of note that this highly efficient and economic tester is designed to meet the USP and Ph. Eur. standards fully.
