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.
Designed for use within the pharmaceutical industry, it has wide application for optimising powder formulations with the required flow behaviour: for example, inhalation characteristics relating to the flow properties of the bulk powder during dosing, and the fluidisation and permeability properties relating to delivery.
The FT4 is a universal powder tester that allows characterisation of a sample in a range of complementary ways.
It offers unsurpassed reproducibility and repeatability thanks to a unique conditioning step that ensures that powders are measured in a standardised state.
Automation makes testing rapid and simplifies instrument operation.
The theme for APS Inhalation 2007 is Innovation through Integration, the focus of the meeting being the complementary roles that science, technology and regulation play in developing successful new pharmaceutical products.
