Inhaler tester accommodates any design
The Automated Emitted Dose (AED) system introduced by Astech Projects addresses both the demand for in-line high throughout inhaler testing as well as all variations in device design.
Designed to efficiently automate and improve respiratory drug delivery tests such as dose content uniformity of the emitted dose and particle size determination, the Xelair, Xelize and Xelox together increase throughput, improve data consistency and reduce health and safety risks.
In addition, a simple upgrade path is in place so all X products are easily upgraded when required.
The Xelair is a 'groundbreaking' series of products for testing the dose content uniformity of the emitted dose, the Xelize is an advanced range for particle size determination in conjunction with the Andersen cascade impactor, and the Xelox is a next generation series of products for particle size determination with the next generation impactor (NGI).
Astech Projects's sales and marketing director Anthony Moran commented: "We have been working with pharma companies for many years developing bespoke automation solutions for a variety of manufacturing and testing processes.
"We felt the next step was really to build this experience and expertise into a new product range that was readily available to everyone as off-the-shelf solutions. Request a free brochure from Astech Projects ...
"The X products have been developed by our dedicated drug delivery team to the same high standards of our bespoke platforms, providing reliable and robust automation for a range of respiratory drug tests.".
