Freeman Technology will showcase its pharmaceutical processors at Interphex 2009, to be held 17-19 March in New York.
Freeman's FT4 powder tester delivers the insight into powder behaviour needed to achieve compatibility between powder and plant and enable process optimisation, supporting the aims of QbD.
The FT4 performs a range of methodologies, measuring shear, bulk and dynamic properties in a short time, using relatively small amounts of material.
The results often indicate why some formulations are easy to manufacture and others are not.
The FT4 also defines, in terms of easily measurable parameters, the characteristics of materials that will be optimal for a given piece of plant: a hopper or a tablet press, for example.
