A new eBook from Freeman Technology explores the application and value of powder testing in the pharmaceutical industry. Incorporating case study data from leading pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer and GSK it highlights how powder testing can shorten time to market and improve process economics. The ability of the FT4 Powder Rheometer® to deliver a handsome return on investment is robustly explored via example applications from formulation through to routine troubleshooting.

Freely available for download ‘Powder Flow Testing for Pharmaceuticals’ has something for any scientist or engineer working to understand and control powder behaviour to make better pharmaceuticals, more cost-effectively.

The modern pharmaceutical industry relies on effective powder handling and processing to make an increasingly sophisticated array of products ranging from controlled and rapid release tablets to inhaled therapeutics for respiratory illness. In this ebook we examine:

• How multifaceted powder testing can support improved practice and outcomes in pharmaceutical development and manufacture
• The industry’s long association with powder testing and pioneering uptake of dynamic testing
• Relevant examples from formulation through to supply chain management that provide clear evidence of the insights that powder testing can deliver.

The pharmaceutical industry faces challenges on every front, from a pipeline of increasingly hard to formulate BCS Class II and IV drugs, to aggressive cost pressures on off patent and over-the-counter products, intensifying requirements for effective lifecycle management, and too easily disrupted supply chains. The right powder testing strategy can support efforts in all these areas. Find out how those leading the way in pharmaceutical manufacturing are capitalising on this potential and reaping the rewards.
