Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A standard method using a Coulter LS particle size analyser was used. The model was an optical model Fraunhofer (PIDS included). The pre-treatment consisted of agitation of the sample with 30 ml TPPS (5%) for 2 minutes at 550 rpm. The run length was 65 seconds with pump speed set to 51, obscuration 8% and PIDS obscur at 65%. The fluid used was water.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of distribution:
volumetric distribution

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The particle size distribution test indicates that 100 % of the substance has particles less than 100 microns and therefore can be considered to be potentially inhalable.
