The influence of processing on the performance of carrier material used in dry powder inhalers was investigated. a-Lactose monohydrate crystals were processed by ball milling for cumulative time durations and their properties evaluated. As expected, milling reduced the median particle diameter while

This study investigates (1) the effect of modifying the design of a dry powder inhaler on the device performance, and (2) which design features significantly contribute to overall inhaler performance. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed to determine how the flowfield generated
The physicochemical properties of two forms of spray dried bovine serum albumin (BSA) have been investigated using particle sizing, surface energy measurement, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and colloid probe microscopy. The BSA powder had similar particle size distributions and surface energy but si
