Spraytec in routine use by Melbourn Scientific
Melbourn Scientific has become the first CRO in the UK to routinely use the Malvern Instruments Spraytec particle size analyser to support the development of inhaler, nebuliser and nasal spray systems
The Inhalation Cell provides for the rapid analysis of inhalers and nebulisers, enabling researchers to understand how particle entrainment and dispersion occurs during device actuation.
Particle size in sprays and aerosols is important in defining product delivery and performance in an increasing range of pharmaceutical applications.
The Malvern Spraytec system uses laser diffraction to measure particle size and is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for the analysis of inhalers, sprays and aerosols.
It delivers real-time, high-speed measurements that enable the complete characterisation of both continuous and pulsed spray events.
The new Spraytec has an increased data acquisition rate of 10 kHz, which means a 100-microsecond time resolution, allowing extremely accurate analysis of the dynamics of spray atomisation and dispersion.
The robustness and simple operation of the Spraytec are important factors in its continued success and both are evident in the new system, from the design of the optical bench through to its software implementation.
Automatic alignment ensures fully optimised system set up.
