Insitec Pharma Voyager online/automated at-line particle size analyzer

The Insitec Pharma Voyager online/automated at-line particle size analyzer is an attractive option in pharmaceutical manu- facturing, especially for pilot-plant operation and PAT research, where mobility, cleanability and ease of operation are important. It is also a valuable tool for sites needing to monitor multiple unit operations such as mills, spray dryers, atomizers and classifiers. Built for the plant environment, it can be moved easily to production at any point. The unit is based on Malvern’s highly robust Insitec T laser-diffraction-based particle size analyzer — a system whose GMP design features include the use of tri-clamping and 316L stainless steel for easy cleaning to pharmaceutical standards. A completely mobile and self-contained unit, Pharma Voyager delivers online continuous or automated at-line particle size measurement for solid particulates suspended in gas streams. It provides real-time size analysis of particles in the size range from 0.5 to 1,000 mm, and features CIP, SIP and 21CFR compliance, and validation with material certificates. An intrinsically safe option is also available on request.
