摘要: Abstract The purpose of this study was to understand the kinetics emptying micronised salbutamol sulphate (SS) and lactohale 300 (LH300) under varying air flow rates (30–180 L min −1 ) from three dry powder inhaler devices, Rotahaler ® (RH), Monodose Inhaler (MI) Handihaler (HH). Aerosol concentration vs. time profiles, determined through real-time laser diffraction particle sizing, demonstrated that majority RH emitted within one second while a more prolonged aerosolisation observed MI HH. Peak aerosol concentrations were achieved rapidly compared for both SS LH300. Calculated cumulative mass (CCEM) profiles obtained rate CCEM ( k ), estimated modelling approach, increased with increasing rates. LH300 significantly different at high highest lowest MI. Differences in between devices related capsule aperture size differences materials due bed structure. This approach provided an understanding which emptied proposed be powerful development tool future inhalers.
