OINDP testing equipment maker Copley Scientific has announced the launch of the EnviroMate benchtop environmental control chamber, which is designed to reduce variability in OINDP testing that can occur due to inconsistent temperature, humidity, and electrostatic conditions. The chamber allows for DDU and APSD testing in a controlled environment without the need for a dedicated environmentally-controlled room, the company notes.
According to Copley, the EnviroMate chamber maintains a desired temperature within ± 2°C and humidity within ±5% RH, which is especially important for testing hygroscopic powders and aqueous formulations that may exhibit variability due to evaporation. The unit also includes an integrated anti-static system and is large enough to fit the company’s Inhaler Testing Workstation and all types of cascade impactors.
Copley Scientific CEO Mark Copley said, “Controlling environmental conditions precisely during the testing of OINDPs is crucial, but is typically complex and expensive. The EnviroMate is a pragmatic, well-engineered, highly effective option tailored specifically to inhaler testing requirements. It’s a great addition to our range and we’re sure it will have a positive impact on the quality of test data, for those struggling to achieve stable conditions during DDU and APSD testing.”
