ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ is a recognized specialist partner in the provision of particle analysis for Particle Size Distribution (PSD) and particle counting. Our services help to ensure the quality and effectiveness of pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
The number and size of particles dispersed in a powder, fluid, or other material have a direct impact on the performance of medicinal products and medical devices.
In solid-dose or emulsion-based medicines, the particle size distribution and the number of particles can directly affect the efficacy of the product. Particle shape characterization is indispensable for flowability of powder, milling efficiency, dissolution of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), and rate of reaction. Within implantable medical devices and injectables, the particulate is unwanted and can impact the patient’s health if present in large numbers and large sizes.
ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ provides expert analysis laboratory services for Particle Size Distribution (PSD) and particle counting following USP, EP, ASTM and ISO methods. Our particle size analysis techniques include:
- Particle Size Distribution (PSD) by light scattering
- Particle counting by light obscuration
- Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
- Light Microscopy (LM)
- Microscopic image analysis
