Large amounts of data are currently being generated in an attempt to understand and improve formulation, process, and manufacturing efficiency. This task requires novel data mining software systems ...

Granulation is a critical unit operation in pharmaceutical manufacturing, where fine powders are agglomerated into granules to improve flow properties, uniformity, and compaction performance. The ...

When Pharmaceutical Technology Europe was established 20 years ago, PAT was not a hot topic in the industry. It was started in 2002 by FDA to modernize pharmaceutical manufacturing and increase the ...

Formulation scientists are behind the conversion of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) into stable, bioavailable, and commercially viable dosage forms, rarely a simple process. Image Credit: ...

Excipients play a remarkable role in the process of drug formulation. Binder excipients are used to improve disintegration, bulkiness, bioavailability and dissolution rate of the drug. To make binder ...

In the last 10 years, there has been significant development in computer simulation of pharmaceutical materials, processes and product performance. Gradually, more mechanistically based models are ...

Several challenges may be presented when processing powder blends: the blend may be prone to segregation, the creation of agglomerates may influence homogeneity, or component powders may poorly flow ...
