Automation for DDU Testing

All of the tests involved in Delivered Dose Uniformity require the collection and drug recovery of individual doses into the collection tube of a Dosage Unit Sampling Apparatus (DUSA) appropriate to its type (MDI or DPI) prior to assay.

Delivered Dose Uniformity (DDU)

Aerodynamic Particle Size Distribution (APSD)

Our range of precision engineered cascade impactors measure the size distribution (particle size) of inhaled drug products, providing critical information about where particles in aerosol clouds are likely to be deposited in the lungs following inhalation.

Special Applications

Copley Scientific offers a range of testing equipment for additional qualification and validation of orally inhaled and nasal drug products (OINDPs), including assessments of generic drug formulations, inhaled dissolution testing and improving IVIVCs.

Special Applications

Improving IVIVCs

Better IVIVC has long been an industry aim. This is particularly difficult in the case of inhaled and nasal products because of the complications involved in precisely correlating drug deposition behaviour with clinical efficacy, the impact of patient-to-patient variability and the complex interaction between formulation and device.

Improving IVIVCs

Inhalytix®

Inhalytix® – Our fully compliant data analysis software offers analysts a flexible and validated solution for the analysis and reporting of the aerodynamic particle size distribution (APSD) drug output from all OINDPs.
