In May 2012, Copley
Scientific's distribution partners from around the world gathered at the
company's headquarters in Nottingham, UK, to attend an intensive three-day
training programme on all aspects of inhaler testing. Over the course of the
meeting, participants were able to hone their knowledge and skills, learning
not only about new products, but also the latest regulatory thinking and
requirements.
"Our
reputation as
global providers of quality pharmaceutical testing equipment is underpinned by high levels of technical knowledge," said
Sales Director Mark Copley. "Comprehensive training is fundamental
as we continue to expand our network of distributors. We are committed to
equipping our sales and support teams everywhere
with up-to-the-minute information so that we always provide the best possible
service and technical and sales support, and we ensure that it is tailored
specifically to local requirements."
Partners
from Turkey, India, China and Switzerland toured the Copley Scientific head office
prior to an introductory session on
the benefits and methodologies of
delivered dose uniformity testing and aerodynamic particle sizing by cascade
impactor for devices such as metered dose inhalers,
dry powder inhalers, nebulisers and nasal sprays. The main focus of the course
was how to maintain test equipment in peak condition and use it productively,
so mensuration (the technique used to calibrate cascade impactors),
troubleshooting and routine maintenance were the core topics into days two and three.
Newly introduced items such as the BRS2000 and BRS 3000, breathing simulators
designed for improving IVIVCs, were covered alongside established products such
as the TPK and TPK2000, critical flow controllers already in widespread use
across the globe. The course finished with a brief introduction to Copley's
solid dosage range.
