  • About The Course1:06

    Explore essential quality control tests for pharmaceutical capsules, including physical evaluation of appearance, shell integrity, size, dimension, and weight variation, followed by functional tests like content uniformity, disintegration, and dissolution.

  • Appearance and Shell Integrity3:27

    Assess appearance and shell integrity to ensure visually appealing capsules and proper drug protection. Inspect cracks, pinholes, and dents via manual or automated systems for quality control.

  • Size and Dimensions3:31

    Measure capsule length and diameter using vernier calipers or digital micrometers, compare with the standard size chart, and analyze averages and standard deviation to ensure pharmacopoeial tolerance.

  • Weight Variation Test3:45

    Master the weight variation test for capsules to ensure uniform dosage and pharmacopoeial compliance. Learn to assess powder and liquid filled capsules, calculate net weight, and apply the acceptance criteria.

  • Moisture Permeation Test2:43

    Evaluate the capsule's resistance to moisture using a humidity test with a cobalt chloride desiccant, guiding packaging choices to protect hard gelatin capsules from moisture and degradation.

  • Stability Testing of Capsules5:46

    Assess capsule stability through long-term, accelerated, and intermediate testing to ensure potency, safety, packaging protection, and compliance with pharmacopoeial and ach guidelines over shelf life.

  • Bloom Strength Test5:17

    Understand the bloom strength test (gelatin strength test) to assess gelatin gel firmness and elasticity for uniform capsule shells and reliable drug release in capsule manufacturing.

Requirements

  • Basic level of English
  • Good quality of Internet connection
