The development of nanoparticles for drug delivery is a fast-moving and high-potential research area within the pharmaceutical industry. A leading company in the field has now chosen Inhalation Research Services for a contract research project that is exploring the development of inhalable nanoporous particles for drug delivery.

The company wishes to evaluate how test particles dissolve in the lung in vivo, and how quickly they move into the bloodstream. To do so, they have chosen to use ISAB's intratracheal in vivo exposure module. This delivers aerosol directly to the lungs of an individual test rodent, bypassing its nose, whilst carefully monitoring aerosol concentration and individual breathing patterns. The method delivers voluminous data with exceptionally high precision.

ISAB CEO Manoush Masarrat: "We are pleased that this company, a clear leader in its field, has chosen our technology because of its proven precision and reliability. When finalized, we certainly aim to expand our cooperation and carry out more projects further down the line."
