Two companies will be showing the latest developments in particle sizing systems for solids processing and infrared sensors for on-line measurement and control of moisture and composition.
Particle measurement aids paint performance
Instrument performs zeta potential and particle size measurement in developing the use of nanosized ceramic particles to enhance scratch resistance for automotive lacquers.
Scheduled for the afternoon of Wednesday 18 April, the workshop will feature demonstrations of the Malvern Spraytec particle/droplet size analyser and will focus on the requirements for evaluating the robustness of drug delivery systems using the technique of laser diffraction, with specific reference to nasal products.
The effect of both formulation and pump parameters on the nature of the spray produced will be explored.
Highlighted especially will be the value of the highly time-resolved data generated by laser diffraction in understanding droplet formation and delivery.
Malvern's Spraytec system uses laser diffraction to measure particle size and is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for the analysis of nasal sprays and inhalers.
It delivers real-time, high-speed measurements that enable the complete characterisation of both continuous and pulsed spray events.
Speed of measurement is a particularly attractive feature and the data produced offers valuable insight into the processes of particle formation and dispersion during inhaler and nasal spray operation.
