Powders are widely used as excipients or APIs in pharmaceutical products and formulations. Several production processes are dealing with powders: tableting, wet and dry granulation, blending, caps filling, etc. Therefore, understanding powder flow behaviour is needed to avoid inappropriate properties and serious complications in production lines (clogging, agglomeration, segregation, etc.)....
Whilst commonly used air displacement pipettes are highly accurate for most pipetting applications, their performance is adversely affected by the physical properties of the solutions handled, such as viscosity, volatility, surface tension and temperature. However, positive displacement pipettes like Gilson's ergonomic MICROMAN® E and Capillary Pistons (CPs) work differently, and volume delivery is unaffected by the nature of the sample...
