Freeman Technology will exhibit the FT4 powder rheometer at the Association of Pharmaceutical Sciences (APS) Inhalation 2007 meeting in Bath (UK) 27-28 March 2007
The FT4 incorporates automated test protocols for the measurement of a range of bulk, shear and dynamic powder properties.
Designed for use within the pharmaceutical industry, it has wide application for optimising powder formulations with the required flow behaviour: for example, inhalation characteristics relating to the flow properties of the bulk powder during dosing, and the fluidisation and permeability properties relating to delivery.
The FT4 is a universal powder tester that allows characterisation of a sample in a range of complementary ways.
It offers unsurpassed reproducibility and repeatability thanks to a unique conditioning step that ensures that powders are measured in a standardised state.
Automation makes testing rapid and simplifies instrument operation.
The theme for APS Inhalation 2007 is Innovation through Integration, the focus of the meeting being the complementary roles that science, technology and regulation play in developing successful new pharmaceutical products.
