ATI Corporation CHT-01 Capsule and Softgel Hardness Tester
The CHT-01 Capsule and Softgel Hardness Tester performs penetration or compression testing using a cylindrical probe with a 10 mm diameter or 10 mm2 surface area. The test determines the rupture point of a capsule, revealing its strength. It also detects weaknesses in gelatin films or seals during manufacturing, simulating potential rupture during packaging and transportation.

A softgel capsule is a specialized capsule used for oral medications with a gelatin shell containing a liquid filler. It is commonly used for vitamins, minerals and other medications. The active ingredients are safely encapsulated within the capsule, protecting them from the environment. When a consumer takes a capsule, the drug ingredients are released by crushing, dissolving, and melting, depending on the strength of the capsule wall.
To evaluate capsule hardness, the CHT-01 Capsule and Softgel Hardness Tester performs a penetration or compression test using a cylindrical probe with a 10 mm diameter or 10 mm2 surface area. This test determines the rupture point of the capsule, revealing its strength. It also detects weaknesses in gelatin films or seals during manufacturing, simulating potential rupture during packaging and transportation.
In addition, the CHT-01 Capsule and Softgel Hardness Tester quantifies the elasticity of softgel capsules by measuring the deformation of the capsule shell under a specific compressive load. Seal strength is evaluated using a probe that is larger than the capsule, measuring the force required to break the seal. In addition, the tester measures the force required to deform a softgel capsule to a specific level.
