    Inhaler Shaking

    In analytical chemistry, most sample preparations rely on some form of shaking to ensure homogeneity of the formulation. For example, inhaler shaking is an essential step for Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) and some Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) testing. Adequate and consistent sample preparation is a key requirement for reliable and repeatable data. For inhaled drug delivery testing, the shaking technique may change the characteristics of the delivered dose. Automating inhaler shaking reduces the margin for error, ensuring higher, more consistent outputs.

    Xelair® 1 Series Shaker

    Do you need robust shaking equipment capable of replicating a range of parameters, allowing you to develop methods without delaying your analytical development process or quality control plans? Xelair® 1 Series Shaker is the answer.

    Multiple profiles & shakes up to 4Hz

    Shake distance (amplitude), frequency, duration, acceleration, velocity and wave profile are all fully configurable. Set parameters and generate profiles in our intuitive Relovex® Graphical User Interface software. The floor mounted Shaker is more secure, stable and capable of delivering more aggressive shaking than bench mounted types, allowing shakes of up to 4Hz at 400mm amplitude. Device carriages can hold up to 10 canisters or fully assembled canisters/actuators at a time. Interchangeable device nests can be manufactured to accommodate new device designs or product variants such as those that include dose counter mechanisms.
