Particle Source in Respiratory Drugs

Our Experience:

Studies show that more than 95% of all foreign particles in this substance class are organic by origin and, therefore cannot be attributed to any substance found through REM/EDX analysis. The Single Particle Explorer detects, enumerates and identifies particles in this substance class. rap.ID technology utilizes unique methods to provide rapid and relevant information about inhalables from 2-10 µm.

Typical Applications:

Dry Powder Inhaler Study:

This particular study, conducted in cooperation with a leading dry powder inhaler manufacturer, provides evidence that a specific foreign particle profile can be attained after successful method development analysis.
