Research summary
This study applies statistical modeling to a practical pharmaceutical delivery question: how consistently do manual and automated droppers dispense ocular poultry vaccines? It examines dispensing angle, manual pressure, bottle volume, and delivery conditions as potential sources of variation. The automated apparatus produces more consistent drop masses than the manual methods tested.
The work extends my research into pharmaceutical technology and quantitative analysis of vaccine delivery.
