Copley Scientific has announced the launch of a 316 stainless steel mixing inlet for use in aerodynamic particle size distribution (APSD) measurement, available in versions for both ACI and NGI impactors. The company also announced the availability of a firmware update for its TPK 2100 Critical Flow Controller that provides greater logging and recording capabilities.
The mixing inlet allows for application of a clinically realistic inhalation profile during cascade impaction by decoupling flow through the inhaler from the flow through the impactor, and the new one-piece, stainless steel version is designed for increased robustness and improved drug/solvent compatibility.
The TPK 2100 Critical Flow Controller, which is used for testing dry powder inhalers, was introduced in October 2017. Existing units can be upgraded with the new firmware to allow for recording and logging of pressure drop for each test.
