Respiratory, Ophthalmic & Advanced Drug Delivery Research

HSP also supports research planning and development for specialized pharmaceutical delivery systems.

Potential research equipment and instrumentation, depending on project scope, may include:

• Precision balances
• Controlled-temperature mixing systems
• Particle size analysers
• Laser diffraction systems
• Zeta potential analysers
• Dissolution and drug release testing systems
• Nebulizer performance testing equipment
• Next Generation Impactor (NGI) or cascade impactor systems
• Aerodynamic particle size assessment systems
• Ophthalmic formulation evaluation equipment

Specialized respiratory and ophthalmic testing requires dedicated instrumentation, qualified methods and appropriate laboratory conditions. Such studies will be undertaken only where the required infrastructure is available directly or through suitable collaborators.
