Norlab offers a whole range of testing instruments for pharmaceutical materials. 

Here pharmaceutical products are regarded as materials with manufacturing processes within the context of the testing devices distributed by Norlab, rather than medical compounds with therapeutical characteristics. Pharmaceutical technologies produce pharmaceutical agents in their final delivery form, which means that the task is to characterize a powder, a dispersion or a tablet. Norlab offer testing instruments for dispersions (stability analysis), for powders (BET surface area) and for tablets (pore structure, dissolution, disintegration).
