The results obtained during the measurements showed no relevant difference. The MMD mean value of 15.8 um with a standard deviation of +- 0.587 um as reported above. The standard deviation is smaller than 5 %, therefore the study is considered to be valid. In conclusion, using the laser diffraction method to study the particle size of substance T002615 is ranging between 0.3 um and 50 um.

Conclusions:
The mean mass diameter of the substance T002615 was determined with the laser diffraction method to be 15.8 µm.

Description of key information

The particle size distribution of T002615 was determined by the laser diffraction method in a Klimisch 1 GLP study (Tognucci, 2003).

The mean mass diameter was determined to be 15.8 µm.
