- Documentation for audit trail


DUSA Apparatus (Copley Scientific, UK)

Next Generation Impactor (Copley Scientific,UK)
It is used for the determination of Aerodynamic particle size distribution (APSD) and fine particle fraction (FPF) of Dry powder inhaler formulation (DPI) and Metered dose Inhalation (MDI) products. This test gives us the idea about the amount of dose reaching to the lungs.

Spraytec (Malvern, UK)
It is used for the determination of droplet size distribution (DSD) by laser diffraction technique i.e. D10, D50 and D90 of Nasal spray and Metered dose inhaler (MDI) products. For nasal sprays, droplets with size less than 120 µm will reach to the site of action (nasal cavity).

Spray View (Proveris Scientific, USA)
It is used for the determination of Spray pattern (Spray area and Ovality ratio) and Plume geometry (Plume angle and Plume width) of Nasal spray products and MDI products. The Spray pattern and Plume geometry gives us the idea about size, shape and angle of the spray which determines the efficacy of the products.

Regulatory Affairs
In today’s competitive environment the reduction of time taken to reach the market is critical for product and company’s success.
Our Regulatory Affairs team keeps track of the ever-changing legislation in all the regions in which the company intends to market its products.
