INSIGHTS ON SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING

SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS

  • Send a test sample of your powder to Natoli Scientific to get your formula characterized following USP <1062> Guidelines (Tablet Characterization Methods) that we have been practicing for over 25 years.

  • Natoli Scientific is dedicated to developing high-quality affordable products for your market needs.

    We provide a formulation design based on a strong scientific understanding and decoding interplay of materials and process parameters to ensure product integrity. We use traditional as well as principles of ‘Quality by Design (QbD)’ to develop robust lead prototype formulations. The early sound scientific investment in product development saves time and money during scale-up and commercial manufacturing.

  • Basic Powder Flow Characterization [USP <1174>]:

    A powder flow analysis is an indicator of how well formulation will release from the hopper during the tableting. It is important to know that the developed formulation is showing ‘Mass Flow’ or ‘Funnel Flow’ or ‘Rat Holing’.

    Powder blend shows ‘Mass Flow’ when the entire solid bed is in motion during the discharge of material from the outlet. This is a ‘First-in-First-Out’ process. Hoppers offering ‘Mass Flow’ have steep and/or low-friction walls. This flow offers ‘No-Arching’, ‘Less Segregation’, and ‘Stable Powder Flow’.

    When the hopper is not sufficiently steep and smooth enough to ensure sliding along its wall, the powder blend exhibit ‘Funnel Flow’. Such hoppers are sensitive to arching and ratholing. In this case, powder discharge from the hopper is not predictable.
