Tapped Density

The Tapped Density Apparatus, a fundamental tool in Monash Pharmacy Lab's Pharmaceutics division, is designed to measure the tapped density of pharmaceutical powders precisely. This apparatus employs a standardised tapping mechanism to compact the powder, allowing researchers to determine its maximum packing efficiency. By quantifying the tapped density, scientists gain insights into the powder's flow properties, which are critical for formulating solid dosage forms. Monash researchers leverage the Tapped Density Apparatus to optimise powder characteristics, ensuring uniformity and consistency in pharmaceutical formulations. This instrument reflects Monash Pharmacy Lab's commitment to methodical research, enhancing our understanding of powder behaviour and contributing to advancements in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
