• In-Situ, Non-Destructive Surface Area Measurement For The Optimal Application Of Lyophilization

  A key focus of this paper is the relevant measurement of surface area, with experimental data demonstrating the performance and value of novel instrumentation for in-situ characterization.

• Preventing Sticking And Picking Through Tablet Design

  Sticking or picking issues are often not detected. Prevent unanticipated problems during scale-up and full-scale production by considering tablet compression issues before tablet designs are finalized.

• Breaking The Misconceptions Of Maximum Compression Force

  With proper formulation development and tablet design the tablet press operator should be able to manufacture quality tablets without exceeding the tooling’s maximum compression force rating.

• Data Gathering And Analysis Necessary In New Tablet Development

  A significant concern in tablet manufacturing is speed to market. Moving too quickly, however, may cause delayed production, lost product, and missed deadlines. To reduce potential headaches, companies are embracing the principles of Quality by Design (QbD) and utilizing automated data gathering and tablet analysis during research and development. This allows organizations to reduce product development and delivery stress and loss.
