Innovation award for particle size analyser
The Malvern Insitec Voyager on-line particle size analyser, with Malvern Link automation software, has been named winner of the Most Innovative Product category at the 2003 Asia Pacific Coatings Show
It meets current GAMP requirements, with a simple to clean cell and flowpath, and the system features triclamping and 316 stainless steel parts for easy cleaning.
Its software enables full compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.
The Insitec Voyager is the first ever standard mobile unit for real-time on-line particle sizing.
It can be used on-line and at-line.
The system is ideal for pharmaceutical sites where there are many manufacturing lines requiring optimisation, or for first-time buyers who would like to evaluate the use of on-line particle sizing for their application.
Insitec Voyager systems use the same proven technology and rugged platform that is the foundation for all the Malvern Insitec range of on-line particle sizers.
The Voyager unit houses all the instrumentation and software needed for on-line particle size analysis and can be moved easily around a plant.
Voyager is suitable for use even in highly regulated environments.
On-line particle sizing facilitates real-time optimisation of process parameters and configurations.
Being a laser diffraction-based system, Malvern Insitec offers benefits in that the technique requires no calibration nor does it need the long data acquisition intervals that can mask true process behaviour.
With laser diffraction techniques, laser light is scattered by particles in the sample and the angular intensity is measured by a series of photodetectors.
Smaller particles scatter light at greater angles than larger ones and the resulting diffraction pattern is used to measure particle size.
By applying the rigorous Mie light scattering theory to the data, the complete particle size distribution can be ascertained. Request a free brochure from Malvern Instruments ...
