Returning from a successful
trip to China, where he was the invited guest of the National Institute for
Food and Drug Control (NIFDC) (the department of the State Food and Drug
Adminstration (SFDA) responsible for drug testing) Mark Copley, Sales
Director for Copley Scientific, is enthusiastic about how inhaled product
testing is developing in the country and delighted with the response to
training sessions that he delivered.
"It was
a real privilege to visit both the Shanghai and Beijing branches of the NIFDC
and see first hand how China is developing its approach to inhaled product
testing and the standards that it will apply," said Mark Copley, "The training
we delivered was well-received and discussions about revisions to the Chinese
pharmacopoeia were both interesting and productive. As a company we hope to
continue to cement relationships with both the regulatory authorities and
inhaler manufacturers, assisting in developing and expanding their
knowledge base and testing capabilities"
At both
the Bejing and Shanghai branches of the NIFDC, Mark Copley delivered training
on delivered dose uniformity testing and the use of cascade impactors, such as
the Next Generation Impactor, which are routinely used to measure the inhaled product
testing. He also met with Dr
Huimin Hou, director of the National Pharmaceutical Engineering Research Centre
(NPERC) and chair of the pharmacopoeia committee, to discuss how China plans to
develop inhaled product testing standards for inclusion in the revised
pharmacopoeia, which is scheduled for release in 2015.
