Semisolids are creams, ointments, gels or lotions used principally in the treatment of dermatological conditions that are applied topically to the skin to deliver a localised therapeutic response. The performance of such products is determined by measuring the release rate of the active ingredient, through a suitable membrane held in contact with a receptor medium contained within a VDC.
The scaled down test environment offered by the well-established Tergotometer provides representative testing while using minimal quantities of detergent. The resulting data enables the robust assessment and comparison of detergent performance, to accelerate product development.
‘Quality Solutions for Inhaler Testing, 2015 Edition’ includes detailed information on regulatory requirements and highlights pertinent new additions to the company’s extensive inhaled product testing range.

Copley Scientific launches new products for MDI testing in line with the new USP monograph
Feb 11, 2014
The new unit frees up bench-space and simplifies connection of the key pieces of equipment routinely used for DPI testing, without compromising the validity of existing test methods. Measuring the aerodynamic particle size distribution of DPIs helps to determine their in vivo behaviour and is essential during product development and for QC. Cascade impaction is the technique specified by the regulators, and the Next Generation Impactor (NGI) is routinely the instrument of choice for this application. Testing must be carried out at a constant, controlled air flow rate to ensure that the NGI delivers precise, calibrated performance...
