Find the right resource for managing environmental variability in inhaler testing
Environmental control can play an important role in improving confidence in DDU and APSD data, particularly where laboratories are investigating poor reproducibility, unexplained variability or inconsistent test conditions.
This resource hub brings together Copley’s key environmental control content in one place, from technical background and application data through to practical product information.
Use the resources below to:
- understand how temperature, relative humidity and electrostatics can affect inhaler testing
- review performance data for EnviroMate™
- assess whether environmental variability may be relevant in your lab
- explore practical options for controlling the immediate test environment
1. Understand the issue
White paper: Establishing a robust environment for inhaler testing
Learn how temperature, relative humidity and electrostatics can influence inhaler testing, why the test environment is a recognised source of variability, and how better control can support more robust data.
Best for: Labs wanting to understand the technical background behind environmental variability.

Application note: Reducing variability in the inhaler testing environment with EnviroMate™
Review experimental data comparing conditions inside EnviroMate with those in an air-conditioned laboratory. The study shows stable temperature and RH control inside EnviroMate, while the surrounding lab environment varied over the test period.
Best for: Labs evaluating benchtop environmental control options and looking for data to support EnviroMate as a robust, fit-for-purpose solution.

EnviroMate™: Benchtop environmental control for inhaler testing
EnviroMate provides controlled temperature and relative humidity in the immediate test area, with integrated electrostatic mitigation. It is designed for labs facing variable laboratory conditions, inadequate climate control, poor reproducibility, unexplained OOS results, or the need for a cost-effective alternative to a dedicated climate-controlled laboratory.
Best for: Lab managers and technical decision-makers evaluating practical environmental control options.

Not sure whether environmental variability could be relevant to your lab?
Use this short checklist to review common indicators that temperature, relative humidity or electrostatics may be contributing to variability in inhaler testing. It is designed to help labs quickly assess whether further investigation or improved environmental control may be worth considering.
Use the checklist to review:
- signs of unexplained DDU or APSD variability
- potential seasonal, location or time-of-day influences
- whether current temperature and RH monitoring is sufficient
- possible electrostatic effects or humidity-related concerns
- whether localised environmental control could support more consistent testing conditions
