This blog is a continuation of the Tech trial series Part-I where we talked about the development of NPS sugar beads from sugar powder using Fluid Bed Columns for one of our customers. In this series, we take our trial one step ahead for developing the sugar beads by using a dry powder layering technique…

It is very important to understand that one of the largest components of the total cost of bringing a new drug to the market or Pilot scaling is the cost of Product development and product trial. By associating with us, you can bring down the investment in basic product development and product trial. Our trial…

Pharmaceutical manufacturing technology has gone through a whole lot of changes over the last 5 to 6 decades, especially since the end of World War II. Until the late fifties, pharmaceutical manufacturing technology involved mixing and blending equipment that basically originated from the fields of agriculture, food and chemical industry. Innovation by leaps and bounds…

Any pharmaceutical product that is being developed begins with initial testing or experiment and goes through several iterations before it can be manufactured. In other words, the lifecycle of any well-known product involves the scaling-up process numerous times. However, scaling-up of any manufacturing process has its concerns due to the increase in manufacturing size and…

Introduction: Formulators rely on science and technology knowledge for solutions to new or existing problems through well-considered combinations of methodologies and approaches that profoundly impact the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry. They understand and evaluate the pre-formulation phase, formulation and process development, and post-formulation phases to achieve specific objectives. Hot Melt Extrusion, a prevalent practice in…

Pharmaceutical Pellets are small, free-flowing, spherical particulates manufactured by the agglomeration of a fine powder, granules of drug substances and excipients using appropriate processing equipment. Pelletization and Granulation are often used interchangeably. However, pelletization technique is considered superior to most techniques that fall under a similar category. Pellets have undoubtedly become a very important type…

What is pharmaceutical coating and why is it necessary? What are the different types of coating and what are the critical parameters to watch for in the coating process? This post answers all these questions about the need and process of pharmaceutical coating.

Granulation is a step in the preparation of tablets that can help to modify and improve the properties of active pharma ingredients. In this post, we explain the various granulation techniques in practice.
