- This paper has significance for the regulatory testing of pharmaceutical inhalation products and quality control. The work has been disseminated in worldwide forums including the IPAC-RS (http://bit.ly/IPAC_RS) and "may ultimately lead to the development of improved quality control testing methods that more closely mimic patient uses of these widely prescribed inhalers" (contact: Scientific Advisor to IPAC-RS). The project was a collaboration by the European Pharmaceutical Aerosols Group - consortium of companies involved in the manufacture of inhalation products: multinational Big Pharma GSK and AstraZeneca; instrumentation manufacturers Copley Scientific, MSP, Minnesota, USA; service providers including Sofotec , Germany, Intertek-Melbourn.
