Malvern Instruments has announced that it will team up with Proveris Scientific Corporation on a nasal spray characterization system called Solo for Spraytec, which combines Proveris’s automated actuator and software for precise control of device actuation with Malvern’s Spraytec laser diffraction particle size analyzer.
The FDA recommends laser diffraction for bioavailability/bioequivalence studies for nasal sprays, and the system can also be used to characterize dispersion behavior for other types of OINDPs.
Malvern Head of Product Management Ciaran Murphy explains, “Malvern Instruments recognizes that the automated actuators that Proveris Scientific are known for are a valuable complement to the Spraytec for the investigation of nasal spray performance. This agreement provides streamlined access to a complete solution for nasal spray analysis and more efficient support. While initially focusing on requirements for the pharmaceutical industry we are hopeful that over time the initiative will also deliver benefits for other industrial applications.”
