There's no glue. No magnet. Just mechanical contact, plus a bit of friction from the tablet surface and a hint of natural stickiness from the formulation. That's how a tablet "holds" against the testing arm during a hardness test. It sounds trivial until you remember what's in the tablet. For standard products, the residue left on test components is a cleaning question. For highly potent compounds - hormones, oncology drugs, OEB Level 4 and 5 APIs - that same residue is a worker-safety question. Even very small residues can become relevant when working close to extremely low exposure limits. The stakes climb higher for in-process testing, where the instrument sits next to a running tablet press and operators stay on the production floor throughout the run. The Kraemer UTS-IP65i is designed for that environment: it is designed to help protect operators from exposure to highly potent compounds, and the wash-in-place function cleans the testing components without opening the machine. Mechanical contact is unavoidable in any hardness test. With high-potency compounds, what that contact leaves behind is the design problem.
