Automatic coater IC 200i

Overview
The Impactor Coater™ IC 200i reproducibly applies surface coatings to NGI Collection Cups and ACI Collection Plates, eliminating particle bounce and re-entrainment when using cascade impactors to measure the Aerodynamic Particle Size Distribution (APSD) of orally inhaled and nasal drug products (OINDPs). Standardising coating application across collection surfaces reduces variability and supports reliable APSD results while improving laboratory throughput.

Product features

• Automated, reproducible application of surface coatings to impactor collection surfaces
• Compatible with NGI Collection Cups and ACI Collection Plates
• Touchscreen user interface for simplified operation
• Controlled dispense rate (0–100%) and programmable dispense/reverse cycle times
• Reduces particle bounce and re-entrainment to improve APSD accuracy and repeatability
• Standardises coating procedure to facilitate method transfer between sites
• Minimises coating solution consumption and frees analysts for other tasks
