Nanoparticles
Particle characterization is a critical tool for pharmaceutical companies. By carefully characterizing and monitoring particle size distribution during production, companies can ensure the quality, uniformity, performance, safety, and compliance of their products.
Benefits
Particle characterization tools can improve efficiency by providing data in real time, reducing costly lab experimentation, and enable process optimization.
Ensure the quality and uniformity of pharmaceutical products.
The particle size of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) can have a significant impact on its bioavailability, stability, and safety. By carefully characterizing the particle size distribution of API, pharmaceutical companies can ensure that their products meet the required specifications.
Improve the performance of pharmaceutical products.
In some cases, the particle size of an API can be optimized to improve its performance. By understanding the relationship between particle size and product performance, pharmaceutical companies can develop more effective and efficient therapies.
Optimize the manufacturing process.
The particle size of the API can have a significant impact on the manufacturing process. Understanding the relationship between particle size and the manufacturing process using online measurement enables pharmaceutical companies to optimize their processes to improve efficiency and yield.
