ZoomLab™, Your Virtual Pharma Assistant

ZoomLab™ is a free online tool that has been developed for formulators, by formulators.

ZoomLab™ removes needless trial and error from the drug formulation process by testing and predicting multiple aspects of an oral solid dosage formulation – including optimized starting formulations. This reduces the time and resources required at the starting stages of the formulation process.

What else should I know?:

No software to download
Disclosure of the API chemistry is not required
Several individual tests for formulators
takes just a few seconds or minutes
Full portfolio of excipients is available (not only BASF products)
Starting formulations are instantly optimized and predicted using a “wizard”
Development is in line with the quality-by-design concept
It’s free!

How does the Formulation Wizard work?

Predict a tailored optimized starting formulation in 5 steps:

Enter desired form of the intended drug
Enter dosage levels and API weight fraction
Enter physical parameters of the API
Select chemistries to analyze (includes BASF chemistries and chemistries from other suppliers)
Select powder blend based on ZoomLab™’s algorithmically assigned ratings

Which additional modules are included?

Formulators have access to / can optimize and predict:

API tabletability
API processability
API content uniformity
Powder blend tabletability
Powder blend processability
Excipient Database
…The list of modules is continuously being updated, with plans to release new features regularly
