Equal Porosity Tabletting (EPT) is Courtoy's most recent innovation. EPT is the most advanced way of compressing a tablet. One of the most important benefits is a significant reduction of variability in critical tablet qualities.
When this principle of tablet compression is used, all tablets within a batch will have nearly identical tablet density and thus porosity (variability will be minimal). As the porosity is strongly correlated to the dissolution time of the tablet, all tablets of this batch will show very similar dissolution times. This will in turn result in significantly less variation in drug release profile and bio-availability.
The EPT mode of compression is currently available on the MODUL™ P rotary tablet press. Click on the link below to read more about "Equal Porosity Tableting".
