Laser diffraction particle size analyzer HELOS & INHALER

for the pharmaceutical industry

HELOS & INHALER analyzes the particle and droplet size distribution of customized nebulizers and inhalers. A wide range of system components allows application specific characterization in the range of 0.25 - 875µm. Aerosols in DPI's, MDI's, pump and propellant sprays as well as nebulizers are measured adapted to the analysis requirements. The compact laser diffraction sensor HELOS/BR in combination with the modular INHALER adapter offers fast and repeatable particle size analysis for R&D or quality control. Advantages: •Reliable determination of “Fine Particle Fraction” from pharmaceutical preparations for the inhalation •Dispersion control during new formulations •Chemical analysis of particle fractions in combination with cascade impactors •Quality control during method takeover •Validation of results within pharmaceutical context •High reproducibility and repeatability of measuring results •Considerable saving and development potential through combination of formulations with different devices: MDI, DPI, nebulizer or SMI •Fast measurement with minimal preparation and minor need for cleaning | 3 min per analysis •Modular measuring system expandable for changing applications in the pharmaceutical development (powder, granules, suspensions, emulsions …)
