Sample Preparation Unit

The Sample Preparation Unit automates drug recovery from NGI, ACI, FP/Salmeterol Induction Ports, and NGI Preseparator, ensuring complete and reproducible recovery of pharmaceutical samples. By streamlining repetitive procedures, the SPU helps alleviate testing bottlenecks and reduces the risk of repetitive strain injury (RSI), ultimately enhancing efficiency and operator safety in life sciences laboratories. This automation supports accurate testing processes, making it an essential tool for researchers and quality assurance professionals focused on improving drug development and aerosol testing.

Sample extraction is a critical contributor to APSD and delivered dose data quality. The SPU-200i brings automation to this step, helping laboratories achieve consistent recoveries and higher throughput.

What the SPU-200i Delivers

  • Programmable solvent management: Define volumes, rinse counts, and contact times to match method requirements.
  • Consistent flow paths: Maintain controlled solvent delivery to stages, throats, and accessories.
  • Ergonomic loading: Speed setup and reduce operator fatigue during high-volume runs.
  • Data linkage: Record parameters and export to data systems to support traceability.

Workflow Advantages

  • Repeatability: Standardized extraction reduces operator-driven variability and supports method robustness.
  • Throughput: Batch processing and rapid cycles help handle more runs per shift.
  • Method transfer: Share extraction programs to align execution across sites.
  • Cleaner mass balance: Controlled recoveries support tighter mass balance checks and clearer investigations.

Typical Applications

  • NGI stage extraction for APSD
  • Induction port and throat rinses
  • Pre-separator and accessory cleaning steps
  • Stability and robustness studies requiring consistent recovery

Integration

Combine the SPU-200i with automated actuation, environmental conditioning, and APSD software for a cohesive, end-to-end workflow. Documented parameters and consistent execution help support data integrity practices and create concise, review-ready reports.

With the SPU-200i, teams can dedicate more time to interpreting data and less to manual preparation, advancing projects with greater confidence in their results.
