The Sympatec INHALER is a versatile adapter for the investigation and the development of all kinds of metered dose inhalers (MDI), dry powder inhalers (DPI), nebulizers or more recent developments such as superfine mist inhalers (Soft Mist™ Inhaler | SMI). When combined with compact laser diffraction sensor HELOS/BR the system analyses the size distribution of droplet mists and solid aerosols with particles ranging from 0.25 µm to 875 µm.

The Sympatec SPRAYER is a versatile adapter of pump sprays or propellant gas sprays to the laser diffraction sensor HELOS for the measurement of particle and droplet size distributions. As the results are usually depending on a variety of parameters driving the spraying process, e.g. the force or the path-velocity behaviour, the distance to the measuring zone or the gradient of the spraying device to the horizon, the spraying process has to be performed under controlled conditions.

If only small quantities of valuable products or toxic material from a few to 1,000 micrograms are to be analysed, the micro-dosing device Sympatec ASPIROS can be applied. ASPIROS is mounted instead of the RODOS funnel and can be used in HELOS or as ASPIROS/L version also in QICPIC applications.

Sympatec LIQXI is the optimum choice for the wet disperser LIXELL, if a closed loop or one-shot application is required for fine particles in a range from 0.1 µm to 500 µm measured in suspension. LIQXI was specially designed to operate with micro cuvettes and tiny gap widths down to 30 µm as required by the lower measuring ranges of QICPIC.

The Sympatec SMACTOR with universal rack is a versatile adapter designed to measure particle and droplet size distributions using the HELOS/KR-Vario laser diffraction sensor of a wide range of bottle types. As the results are usually depending on a variety of parameters driving the spraying process, e.g. the force and the path-velocity behaviour, the spraying process has to be performed under controlled reproducible conditions.

A constant sample mass-flow is of decisive importance for powerful dry dispersing. The controlled vibratory feeding unit Sympatec VIBRI, equipped with a built in amplitude controller feeds dry powders from 1 mg to 1,000 g constantly and independent of the load in the VIBRI funnel. VIBRI will be used with different HELOS dispersing units and as VIBRI/L also with QICPIC dispersing units in the laboratory. Using the on-line analyzers MYTOS or PICTOS with the dosing device VIBRI has the advantage of ensuring a well-defined and constant sample flow into the analysing system.

Sympatec MULTISAMPLER has been developed for users having high sample throughtput with one disperser and one sensor. The fully-automated handling robots MULTISAMPLER/dry and MULTISAMPLER/wet master dry and wet applications. They are used for particle sizing with laser diffraction sensor HELOS and for particle size and particle shape analysis with image analysis sensor QICPIC.
