Animations for education
Copley Scientific's new educational animations provide a clear, easy to under-
stand introduction to critical aspects of inhaled product testing. The videos,
titled "How does a cascade impactor work?" and "System for improved in
vitro/in vivo correlations (IVIVCs) of inhaled drug products" are an excellent
resource for training, for researchers new to inhaled product testing and/or
those seeking enhanced testing strategies. View them at www.vimeo.com/

Determining MDI actuation pressure
AMETEK Brookfield's TA-MDI Meter Dose Inhaler Fixture is used with
the CT3 Texture Analyzer, which measures the push-button force required
to actuate an inhaler. The TA-MDI also can be used by manufacturers to
establish new benchmarks, for instance when an inhaler mechanism and con-
tainer change or when there is a change in formulation.
