The newly acquired system was installed alongside an environmental controlled aerosol collection chamber for inhalation testing and a metered dose inhaler (MDI) and dry powder inhaler (DPI) pilot process lab.
SprayVIEW® is a primary instrument for the characterisation of aerosols or sprays emitted from MDIs, soft mist inhalers and nasal sprays through the measurement of spray pattern and plume geometry. Both are important factors that affect spray performance and SprayVIEW® is an important tool that can visualise changes in other critical quality attributes (CQAs) of inhaled and nasal products.
Commenting on the investment, Lei Mao, Director Inhalation Science and Product Development at Recipharm said: “By employing the SprayVIEW® system and expanding our expertise in this technique, we are strengthening our capabilities in inhalation and nasal product development and manufacturing.”
