Copley Scientific has added a number of features to its TPK 2000 critical flow controller, extending its capability and improving performance.
The TPK 2000 will be exhibited at APS Inhalation 2009, which takes place on 23-25 March at the University of Nottingham in the UK.
Recognised as an industry standard, the TPK 2000 controls and documents all the critical parameters associated with dose uniformity and aerodynamic particle size measurement for dry powder inhaler (DPI) testing.
It is intended to facilitate test setup in accordance with US and European Pharmacopoeia specifications for flow rate, total air volume and flow stability during testing.
Continued development of the TPK 2000 has further extended its capabilities: a separate temperature/humidity module improves temperature accuracy and stability and allows the user to choose the measurement location; a direct RS232 serial port broadens options for remote control and integration into automated systems; and a USB port widens the choice of printer.
