INSIGHTS ON SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING

SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS

  • Building on the capabilities of the NP-RD10A benchtop tablet press (discussed in our previous article on USP <1062>), our services are further enhanced by the integration of the Presster™ compaction emulator. This state-of-the-art tool is designed to replicate the compaction dynamics of production tablet presses in a laboratory setting. It allows for tangible fine-tuning of the compression cycle, providing an accurate depiction of how a tablting formulation will behave under commercial manufacturing conditions. Using the Presster, Natoli Scientific can simulate full-scale production, permitting us to forecast problems before they escalate to costly production delays. Our experts can optimize the tablet design for our clients, ensuring a smooth transition from laboratory to production while adhering to the rigorous standards set by the industry including the current USP <1062> chapter.
