Oral drug delivery systems for time-controlled release, intended for chronotherapy or colon targeting, are often in the form of coated dosage forms provided with swellable/soluble hydrophilic polymer coatings. The latter are responsible for…

Parteck® COAT Excipient - Start rapidly, coat flexibly. It can be a challenge to find the right coating for your formulation, and it can be even more frustrating when your workflow is restrained due to slow processing times. With Parteck®…

In this work, we demonstrate that particles can be coated in a fluidized bed with coating solution provided by a novel aerosol generator. Aerosol droplets are smaller than 1 µm in volume-based diameter, hence they are very much smaller than…

Raman spectroscopy was used as an in-line PAT tool to predict the applied coating mass of three different coating layers on caffeine cores. The different coating suspensions contained titanium dioxide in the anatase and rutile modification…

Here is BIOGRUNDs step-by-step guide how to prepare a suspension. Equipment & Material Equipment: propeller stirrer, beaker Material: Water, AquaPolish Here is a simple calculation for a suspension with for example 20 %…

A simple paper-based microfluidic device, fabricated on a highly porous coating consisting of functionalised calcium carbonate (FCC) pigment and a microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and/or polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) binder, was developed for…

In this study, enteric coatings based exclusively on naturally occurring ingredients were reported. Alginate (Alg) and pectin (Pec) blends with or without naturally occurring glyceride, glycerol monostearate (GMS), were initially used to…

Enteric-coated dosage forms are widely used for targeting the ileo-colonic region of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. However, accurate targeting is challenging due to intra- and inter-individual variability in intestinal paramaters such as…

In the last decade 3D printing (3DP) technology has gained increasing interest in the pharmaceutical field addressing several novel challenges such as on-demand manufacturing at the point of need, customization of drug release profiles and…
