Extending the Boundaries of QbD

3 Dec 2014

In this article Paul Davies and Paul Kippax from Malvern Instruments examine how a Quality by Design (QbD) approach can inform analytical instrumentation design and manufacture, focusing on the benefits for those who go on to use the equipment. Examples from the development of the Mastersizer 3000 particle size analyzer demonstrate the practicalities.

Mastersizer 3000

Malvern Panalytical

World’s most widely used particle size analyzers, the smartest way to measure particle size. There is a newer version of this product avilable, the Mastersizer 3000+ Ultra.

Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
