Respirator Fit Testers

The Abbreviated Impactor Measurement (AIM) Method implies using a shorter process to characterize aerodynamic size. It has been promoted as an alternative to the labor-intensive full resolution cascade impactor methodology for APSD (aerodynamic particle size distribution) testing.

Using an AIM methodology for early stage development has become increasingly popular as both OINDP device and drug companies look for ways to shorten drug development. This technology has traditionally been limited to early development signals indicating rough drug particle size, and this equipment is still intended to categorize the entire dosage for effective mass balance exercises.

With automation equipment performing repetitive, time-consuming tasks, well-educated scientists and analysts can focus on completing higher-level, value-added work.

Along with freeing up analyst/scientist’s time, automated inhaler testing equipment in the lab provides additional benefits. Some of these benefits include:

Consistency: mechanical processing is always more consistent
Repeatability: automation eliminates large uncontrollable variables for more reliable results
Method transfer: easily prove effective method transfer from lab to lab, site to site, CRO to manufacturing, and analyst to analyst
Clarity: improves troubleshooting with less input variables into method and therefore analysis clarity
Cost: decreases long term cost of errors and troubleshooting
