Formulation Development

Pharmaceutical formulation development is the critical step which links the discovery of a novel drug to commercialization. During this step, formulation scientists will determine the best drug delivery vehicle and dosage form needed to deliver a therapeutic effect based on bioavailability or other factors. Below you can explore articles, industry trends, and curated products which can help increase formulation development efficiency.

Comparison of Optical Spectroscopy Techniques for Pharmaceutical Analysis
The optical spectroscopy toolbox contains a large variety of methods that exploit light-matter interactions such as absorption, emission, and scattering phenomena across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. This work aims at giving an overview of the available techniques and their potential applications for product and process analysis in the ... read more
