  • A Solid Dosage Future: How the Pharmaceutical Industry is Working Towards a Better Tablet

    While biopharmaceuticals continue to grab much of the limelight in the pharmaceutical industry, the fact is solid dosage products (tablets, capsules, pills, etc.) still account for the majority of medicinal products made worldwide. The reasons for this market share are abundantly clear: patients are familiar with the dosage form and are comfortable using it. In addition, the industry has many decades of experience designing, formulating, testing, manufacturing and packaging solid dosage products. The knowledge base is extensive. Watch Video

  • Clean Facility of the Future: Advanced Microbiology Technologies for Cleaner Facilities and Purer Products
