Micromeritics has introduced a solutions catalogue specifically focused on its material characterisation instrumentation and contract lab services.
The 16 page brochure illustrates the applicability of material characterisation instrumentation and contract lab services to the critical areas of product and process development, and lifecycle management of a NDC/IDC (new drug or investigation candidate).
Quality by Design (QbD) and its systematic approach to development begins with a predefined objective and emphasises sound science and quality risk principles as an integral part of product development and process control implementation, and can help to achieve the Target Product Profile (TPP).
There has been recent resurging interest in material characterisation within a QbD framework that extends beyond the path of strictly measuring particle size.
Properties such as surface morphology, porosity, particle shape, density, powder flow, and surface energy are increasingly becoming valuable tools to qualify materials, set specifications, develop new formulations, help ensure successful scale-up, and reduce manufacturing rejections and rework.
