Freeman Technology will be a first-time participant at this year’s Eastern Analytical show.
The show takes place on November 12th-14th in New Jersey.
Managing Director Tim Freeman will contribute to the conference, presenting ‘The characterisation of bulk powder properties for pharmaceutical manufacture – the need for a multivariate approach’.
This is part of the ‘Pharmaceutical Analysis of Quality by Design and Automation’ session on the afternoon of Tuesday November 13th.
Freeman’s presentation will discuss how recent advances in powder characterisation allow the measurement of a range of powder properties that can be used to predict material behaviour during processing.
This understanding permits the optimisation of equipment settings to achieve compatibility between the powder, the process and the drug delivery system.
Using case studies he will illustrate how a knowledge of powder characteristics can assist with managing process behaviour in mixing, hopper flow, and die filling applications, and how this information can be fed back in at the development stage to provide processability specifications.
The company will also be exhibiting the FT4 Powder Rheometer on Booth 229.
