Description

Overview
USP monographs are commonly used for product release testing and are considered during product development. Certain product‑specific monographs for FP/S inhalation powders require test equipment and sampling methods beyond those specified in general USP/Ph. Eur. chapters; these are based on methods used in the original product development.

DDU (Delivered Dose Uniformity)
The FP/S inhalation powder monograph specifies that DDU measurements be performed using a dedicated glass sample collection apparatus designed for FP/S powders.

Products featured here
  • Sample collection apparatus for FP/S powders

APSD (Aerosol Particle Size Distribution)
The monograph prescribes APSD measurement with a standard Andersen Cascade Impactor (ACI) fitted with a modified induction port. An additional inlet sleeve is supplied to adapt the induction port for use with common mouthpiece adapters found on USP/NGI induction ports.
Although powder methods sometimes specify testing at 60 L/min, the FP/S monograph recommends using the 28.3 L/min configuration of the ACI (Stages 0–7 plus filter stage) for APSD measurement of both powders and aerosols.

Products featured here
  • Andersen Cascade Impactor (ACI)
  • ACI preseparator for FP/S powders
  • ACI inlet cone for FP/S aerosols
