Press Release Body: RTS Life Science to Exhibit at DDL 2008

Manchester, UK (October 3 2008). RTS Life Science, a worldwide supplier of automated
sample management and drug delivery testing systems, today announces that it will
exhibit at the Drug Delivery to the Lungs (DDL) annual conference, Edinburgh
International Conference Centre, 10th -12th December, 2008. Technical experts from
RTS Life Science will be available at DDL on booth #13 to discuss its fully
automated, as well as recently launched Walkaway Specialist range of semi-automated
inhaler testing solutions.

Traditionally known for its automated solutions for pressurised metered dose
inhalers, RTS Life Science also provides automated solutions for dry powder
inhalers. The RTS mDPI (multi-dose dry powder inhaler) Waste Shot Firer Walkaway
Specialist solutions have been designed specifically for dry powder inhalers. These
dedicated waste firing systems feature fully integrated vacuum and filtration
systems, automated control and monitoring of inhalation and actuation parameters and
RTS TouchSprint, a sophisticated yet intuitive method driven control system. A
carousel design can accommodate up to 30 metered dose dry powdered inhalers at one
time, allowing for extended periods of unattended operation. A solution for parallel
waste firing of multiple dry powder inhalers is also available. Modular designs and
flexible device actuation ensure that waste firing systems can be easily developed
for new mDPI devices, offering a robust and reliable solution for conditioning and
actuating inhaler devices.

New to the automated inhaler testing range from RTS Life Science is the innovative
Walkaway Specialist pMDI (pressurised metered dose inhaler) Waste Shot Firer. The
system features a fully integrated air pump and filtration system, rotary and linear
shaking capability, ex-valve and ex-actuator firing, automated control and
monitoring of shake and fire parameters and the intuitive RTS TouchSprint user
interface. Designed to process up to ten inhaler devices efficiently through the
waste firing process, the pMDI system can easily accommodate multiple actuator
variations through easy load cradles.

Also new to the automated inhaler testing range is the RTS Universal Test Shot
Firing System. This system facilitates reproducible conditioning, actuation and
introduction of inhalers to a variety of dose uniformity and particle size analysis
equipment including dose collection tubes, cascade impactors (NGI and ACI),
impingers and particle size analysers. The system features a novel inhaler adapter
system, the RTS TouchSprint user interface and, is easily integrated to external
flow controllers and other equipment.
The annual DDL conference highlights the development of inhalers for the treatment
of both respiratory diseases and systemic drug delivery. This three day event offers
RTS Life Science the ideal platform to launch its new Walkaway Specialist automated
solutions to the industry.
