The MINIATURE KRAMER SHEAR/OTTAWA CELL (HDP/MK05* or HDP/MKS*) is particularly suited to reduce the force of bulk shearing/compression of multi particle products or non-uniform products.
It attaches to the HDP/90 Heavy Duty Platform. A 5-bladed head or compression platen can be attached to the arm of the texture analyser depending upon whether a shearing or bulk compression/extrusion test is required.
Mucoadhesion
is the process by which a drug delivery device is designed to stick to a part
of the gut or other mucosae, thus delivering drug to a precise site in the body
for an extended period.
This
gives more effective treatment of some diseases and can also protect drugs from
some of the harsh conditions in the body. Mucoadhesive drug delivery systems are used to treat several conditions
in the mouth and have been investigated as treatments for stomach ulcers and
cancer.
The majority of infections
affecting man and animals take place or start in mucous membranes. The ability to retain
pharmacologically-active agents for extended periods of time on any mucosal
epithelium, including those of the nose, mouth, rectum or vagina confers
several potential therapeutic advantages.
