The Vertus® Range – Automated Shake and Fire Systems for MDIs and Nasal Sprays
NEW: Priming & Waste Module
Included as standard, the new Priming & Waste Module integrates firing-to-waste into automated test methods, enabling compendial entire contents testing with minimal manual input.
Each interface plate can be placed directly on top of the Priming & Waste Module. Vertus III and Vertus III+ can switch automatically between priming and test levels, firing-to-waste or to dose collection as required, without operator intervention. This enables highly efficient testing procedures, most notably to meet through-life test requirements for DDU and APSD.
NEW: Exhaust Port
The Exhaust Port supports the efficient extraction of flammable propellants or high potency drugs where additional safety measures are required, for example, as part of pMDI reformulation studies.
Vertus® III+ Interface Plates
All Vertus® III+ interface plates are interchangeable, meaning analysts can easily swap between collection devices. No tools are required, simply lift and switch!
Over 40 collection device combinations are available, a selection of which are shown below. For a full list of all available interface plates, contact us at sales@copleyscientific.co.uk.
