Our Critical Flow Control TPK range and Breath Actuation Control BAC range are designed based on the requirements set out by both the European and the United States Pharmacopoeia for testing MDIs, DPIs, Nebulisers, ADIs and Nasal Products.
The Critical Flow Controller TPK 100i is designed to provide (and document) all of the critical parameters employed in the delivered dose uniformity (DDU) testing and aerodynamic particle size distribution (APSD) measurement of Dry Powder Inhalers (DPIs). It can also be used as a Breath Actuation Controller (BAC) for testing Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs) with Spacers/Valved Holding Chambers (VHCs) and breath-actuated MDIs in accordance with Ph.Eur. 0671 and USP Chapter .
