Clockwise from top-left: Particle Sizing Lab, Respiratory Technology Lab (RTL), Advanced Microscopy Suite, RTL

The new Respiratory Technology Lab (RTL) and associated specialist equipment rooms are ready to be commissioned. The main RTL is now complete and has a capacity for 16 personnel with PC2 facilities for particle engineering (e.g. spray-drying, pressurised pMDI filling etc.) in vitro aerosol characterisation and powder/liquid formulation. Additionally, the microscope suite has been completed ready for installation of live-cell and other imaging equipment. The particle size laboratory is commissioned and a Malvern 3000 and Spraytech installed. The thermal analysis suite will be commissioned towards the end of the month along with the HPLC room.
