Product/Primary Packaging White Papers & Case Studies

  1. Achieving The Perfect Temperature Requirements for Blister Packaging

    When tablets are packaged in blisters, the plastic film must be the right temperature at the right moment: which is no easy task at an output of up to 1,300 blisters per minute. A customer-specific combination for proportional valve, temperature sensor and controller master is using the regulation of cooling water flow. If needed, machine developers can implement 13 parallel-working temperature control circuits. By Dr. Egon Huefner, Bürkert Fluid Control Systems

  2. Hypromellose Capsule For Optimum Formulation Of Pharma Dosage Forms

    Hypromellose capsules were originally formulated with a secondary gelling agent. This article discusses the rationale for developing Capsugel’s Vcaps Plus capsules without a gelling agent.

  3. Protecting Pharmaceuticals From Degradation

    Pharmaceuticals are subject to a variety of degradation pathways that compromise drug safety and shelf-life. By far the greatest degradation is caused by hydrolysis and oxidation. However, other mechanisms include racemization, photodegradation, elimination, and complexation. By Adrian Possumato
