Powder Rheology of Lactose: Impacts of powder morphology on performance of pharmaceutical excipients
In this note, the processing behavior of two lactose excipients is studied by measuring shear and flowability of milled and spray-dried lactose. Milled lactose was found to have higher cohesion, yield strength, confined and unconfined flow energies when compared to spray-dried lactose.
Apparent Melting: A New Approach to Detecting Drug-Excipient Incompatibility
The purpose of this paper is to explain and illustrate a systematic thermal analysis approach (DSC, MDSC®, and TGA) for detecting drug-excipient incompatibility and then optionally exploring the rate of reaction (kinetics) and reaction mechanism (chemistry).
Characterization of Bio-Derived Polymer Under Controlled Humidity
In this apps note, the properties of PLA are studied under various controlled humidity and temperature conditions.
