By Tim Freeman, Director of Operations, Freeman Technology
Effective powder processing underpins almost all pharmaceutical manufacture. The majority of actives are delivered in powder form, as tablets or suspensions, or by dry powder inhaler for example, and even those that aren't are commonly handled as powders at some point during production. A good understanding of powder behavior is therefore essential to implement a knowledge-based approach to development, as advocated by QbD.
