IMAGING SERVICES

Providing analytical data to support the qualification and validation of spray devices.  UKAS ISO17025:2017 process accreditation for medical devices, generating data to meet regulatory requirements.

 

Using our in-house imaging systems to provide a wide range of qualitative and quantitative data on devices including High speed Imaging, Spray Pattern and Plume Geometry, event duration and velocity.  Whether you are conducting feasibility studies, process analysis or device characterisation, we can help.  

 

We test pMDI, Softmist, & Nasal devices. For breath actuated devices, our unique process allows us to capture data on the performance and behaviour of BAI, DPI and SMART inhales device under co-flow conditions.

 

Our Imaging team have a wealth of experience in image capture and analysis and would be happy to discuss your requirements and how we align with regulatory requirements.

We provide contract services to customers from a wide range of industries including Pharmaceutical, Fire Suppression, Aerospace and Automobile to provide characterization of devices and processes.

Our imaging experts will work with you with you to get real answers about your particles, droplets, spray or flow.

Depending on the experiment, we can carry out the work either at your own site or our own Imaging laboratories. 

We also offer a system rental service should you need one off testing for feasibility studies and experiments.
