SOP FOR OPERATION OF TAP DENSITY TESTER | STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE OPERATION OF TAP DENSITY TESTER

 OBJECTIVE

1.1                                  To lay down a procedure for Operation of Tap Density Tester.


2.0                    SCOPE


2.1    This procedure applies to the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Facility of __________________________________________________--

3.0                  RESPONSIBILITY 

3.1                        Chemists   –  Quality Control.

4.0                  ACCOUNTABILITY

4.1                 Head  –  Quality Control.

5.0                  PROCEDURE

5.1                        Ensure that the working bench and instrument is clean.

5.2                       Connect the pin to the power supply.

5.3                       Switch on the mains power.

5.4                       After few seconds it shows Main Menu.

5.5                      Choose the mode menu either ‘USP or User’ by pressing ◄key (Shift key) followed by enter key.

5.6                        CONDITION I (As per USP 1)

5.6.1                     Drop height     :           14mm ± 2

5.6.2                     Drops/Min.      :           about 300 times

5.6.3                     Tap count 1     :           500

5.6.4                     Tap count 2     :           750

5.6.5                     Tap count 3     :           1250

5.7                          Press set key, to set Tap Count –1: 500 by using shift key and increase/ decrease key. Press enter key, to set tap count-2: 750 by using shift key and increase/ decrease key.

 

5.8                       Press enter key, to set Tap Count-3: 1250 by using shift key and increase/ decrease key.

 

5.9                         Press enter key, set clock timely using shift key and increase /decrease key.

 

5.10                     Press enter key, set date by using shift key and increase /decrease key.

 

5.11                       Press enter key, it will ask for last results printing, shift cursor to Y otherwise to N.    press enter key.

 

5.12                     Press reset key, now your method get saved as per USP1.

 

5.13                       Press start key, input weight of sample by using shift key and increase/decrease  key in grams.

 

5.14                       Press enter key, input initial volume (V0) by using shift key and increase/decrease key in ml.

 

5.15                     Keep the cylinder in holder and press start key; it will give taps box 500 times.

 

5.16                       Measured tapped volume (VA) and input it by using shift key and increase/decrease key.

 

5.17                       Press enter key and press start key. It will give a taps force 750 times.

 

5.18          Measured tapped volume (VB) input it by using shift key and increase/decrease                                                key.

 Note: If the difference volume of 1st tap and 2nd tap i.e. VB/VA is more than 2% then   proceed for tap count 3 i.e. 1250 times by some manner. Measure the final volume (VF) if so not stop the experiment in tap count 2 only.

 

5.19                       Give the connection to printer and go to printing mode by using SET and Enter key.

 

5.20                       Set printing mode to Y, automatically printing will come. We can get tap density  

                        initial density, compressibility index and Hausner ratio.

5.21                       CONDITION II (As per USP II)

5.21.1                   Drop height     :           3±0.3 mm

 

5.21.2                   Drops/Min       :           about 250 times

 

5.21.3                   Tap count 1     :           500

 

5.21.4                   Tap count 2     :           750

 

5.21.5                   Tap count 3     :           1250

 

5.22                       Proceed same as condition I for step 5.8 – 5.22. CONDITION III (As per user mode)

 

5.22.1                   The mode to user mode by using set keys and shift key.

 

5.22.2                   Press set key, set taps count as per the product specification.

 

5.22.3                   Press start key to start the tapping.

 

5.22.4             Measure  the volume and calculate manually.

 

5.23                     Calculate the bulk density of the blend according to the formula given below.

 

5.24                

                         Wt. of the sample

Bulk Density g/cc =     ¾¾¾¾¾¾¾-

                        Volume of the cylinder

 

                        Note:   If the between tapping need stop use (STOP KEY)

5.25                     Press reset key.

 

5.26                     Switch off the instrument.

 

6.0                    ABBREVIATIONS

6.1                        USP  –  United States Pharmacopoeia.       

7.0                    REFERENCES

7.1                         Nil

8.0                        ANNEXURES
