Researchers at Quintiles in Edinburgh (Scotland) have purchased the new Freeman Technology FT4 Powder Rheometer for use in the company's drug development programmes.
New Fully Automated Powder Testing
At the 2004 AAPS Annual Meeting and Exposition, Freeman Technology will launch the first in a new range of accessories to automate the company's FT4 powder rheometer.
Comprehensive testing of consolidated, conditioned and aerated or fluidised powders can indicate their suitability for specific processes.
A state-of-the-art system, the FT4 is a universal powder tester that builds the most complete picture possible of powder behaviour.
To do this it uses a patented, dynamic methodology, complemented by shear testing and the measurement of bulk properties.
All tests are automated and fast, with a test program typically completed in around 5 minutes.
The very latest software ensures rapid interpretation and summary of measured data, and data analysis can be performed away from the labouratory if required.
Dynamic measurements using the FT4 involve a unique conditioning process.
This, together with the elimination of operator influence, ensures repeatable, reliable comparison of results between powders, between instruments and between sites.
Determination of basic flowability energy (BFE) is followed by a number of standard tests designed to evaluate many different variables, including consolidation and aeration.
