Microscopic size and shape analysis of particles can be performed by using powerful “Pharma Pro” Image Analyse software. Thousands of Particles are automatically being detected & analysed in a matter of few seconds. Measurement methods are easily set-up in advance and performed using intuitive software wizard features, easily following the required operating procedures. Access to system configuration, calibration and measurement set-up are managed ensuring “FDA 21 CFR Part 11” compliancy. Results are displayed in both graphical and tabular format, statical parameters and comparisons for particle size and shape Manufacturing are calculated.
The use of microscopic image analysis system is the most reliable technique to characterize particle shape and to characterize a particle size and volume distribution. Tradition method, such as laser diffraction, although efficient, gives limited information on particle shape. The particle size, distribution and shape of the particles can affect bulk properties, product performance, process ability, stability and appearance of the end product in Pharma industry. The software is useful to measure and analyse the particle size, particles shape, particle count, foreign particle detection, particle structure, homogeneity, surface, coatings thickness. For spherical particles (which are rarely uncounted in armaceutical powders) the diameters are sufficient to describe the particle size. For non- spherical particles, feret’s diameter, Particle orientation, Particle shape, elongation, convexity, circularity, circle equivalent diameter are measured.
Measurement of object sizes e.g. mesh size of sieves.
