Copley Scientific has introduced its latest Copley Inhaler Testing Data Analysis Software (Citdas), which enables the analysis of aerodynamic particle size distribution data from cascade impaction.
The company has made a number of enhancements and has added features such as a separate spreadsheet for the automatic import of data from the Waters Empower chromatography software.
Existing Citdas V3.00 users can upgrade free of charge.
The software, originally introduced in 2000, can be used for metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers and nebulisers in accordance with US and European pharmacopoeia specifications.
It is also used in routine research and development and quality control analysis for the Andersen Cascade Impactor (ACI), the Marple-Miller Impactor (MMI), the Multi-Stage Liquid Impinger (MSLI) and the Next Generation Impactor (NGI).
The new Citdas V3.10 further improves calculation accuracy and also provides a wider range of reporting options.
The addition of the Waters Empower Import Spreadsheet enables the automated direct transfer of HPLC output data into the Citdas data-entry screen, removing the need for manual transfer, speeding up the process and eliminating the possibility of transcription errors.
