Dec Group to promote DPI micronization solutions at DDL Edinburgh
Ecublens, Switzerland: – Powder handling and containment specialist Dec Group (Dec) is returning to the Drug Delivery to the Lungs (DDL) Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, to showcase its advanced solutions for micronization of powders under high containment.
Dec has become an established presence at the influential scientific conference, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2019.
High containment fluid jet mills
Centerpieces of the Dec display at Booth 345 at the EICC in Edinburgh will be the MC DecJet® 50 & 200 fluid jet mills, featuring a flexible canopy for cyclone filter changes under rigorous isolation and high containment. This new generation of Dec’s spiral jet mills has been developed to master the challenges when micronizing ‘sticky’ corticosteroids such as fluticasone.
MC DecJet® jet mills are ideal for dry powder inhalation (DPI) applications, able to achieve tight particle size distribution (PSD) Gauss curves with typical measurement d50 < 2 µm, ensuring effective drug deposition in the small peripheral airways of the lungs.
Low consumption, high recovery yields
- The MC DecJet® 50 is a research oriented jet mill that is ideal for clinical trials and scale-ups of extremely small batches of high value products,narrow PSD and very low product loss. Key design themes are simplicity, ease of maintenance and easy cleaning. The DecJet 50 boasts lower consumption of process gas than any similarly sized jet mill on the market.
- The MC DecJet® 200 is designed for production scale, able to micronize up to 40 kg per hour. It shares many of the simplicity, clean form factor and ease of use design themes, as well as very low specific consumption of process gas.
Both units can be integrated with containment hoods, isolation glove boxes and other Dec components such as thePTS® Powder Transfer Systemfor working with highly active ingredients.
DPI applications
The MC DecJet® mills are just part of a suite of solutions developed by Dec for handling and processing the potent substances used in DPI applications. These range from incoming material handling, mixing, dosing and inhaler filling.
“We are delighted to join the Aerosol Society to celebrate the 30th anniversary in the valuable DDL event,” commented Dec Group Marketing specialist, Gabriela Mikhaiel.
“This is a very high attainment group of professionals in the specialist field of DPI that involves working with problematic powders under very high containment. We can show that we can offer completely contained solutions from the handling of the incoming powder, micronization in the isolator to the blending and inhaler filling operations,” said Ms. Mikhaiel.
