The R&D QMill is engineered to meet the requirements of R&D labs, where new products are developed and micronization process is requested on small quantities (from minimum 1g to few kgs).
All connections of components are made to be in compliance with cGMPs and to assure quick and easy assembling and disassembling operations. The number of components is reduced at minimum in order to speed up also cleaning and validation activities.
The R&D QMill may be easily integrated into FPS isolators to allow the process of very high active or sterile products.
At FPS MEC Test Centre it is possible to perform technical trials with your products and FPS Q mills.

The QMill-2 has been engineered in order to give higher product yield to encounter all of these needs:
* 1g is minimum batch micronised
* Recovered product: more than 80%, starting from 0.2g batch
Despite the reduced dimensions, this jet mill keeps the same performances and advantages of bigger QMILL.
