Matching Material With Machine
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.
A state-of-the-art system combining a patented dynamic testing methodology with shear and bulk property measurement, the FT4 is a universal powder tester with a proven track record within the coatings sector.
It measures samples in a consolidated, conditioned, aerated and/or fluidised state, generating data that correlate directly with processing performance.
It is therefore ideal for optimising the flow properties of powder formulations, predicting how powders will behave during processing and developing relevant QC specifications.
The FT4 uses a conditioning process and automated test programmes to deliver repeatable, reliable measurement.
A typical test cycle takes only 5 minutes to complete, and results interpretation and analysis is rapid thanks to the very latest software.
By comparing flow energy measurements made under different conditions with a baseline measure, basic flowability energy (BFE), the FT4 allows quant ification of the impact on powder flow behaviour of important factors such as moisture and air content, attrition and segregation.
