Formulation and Evaluation of Solid and Liquid Dosage Forms

„Our research team is concerned with the formulation, development and evaluation of solid and liquid dosage forms.“

Offer

- Formulation of solid and liquid dosage forms

- Evaluation of tablets using pharmacopoeial methods (disintegration time, tensile strength, friability, porosity, dissolution test)

- Flowability testing of particulate material (flow rate, angle of repose, bulk and tapped density, porosity, sieve analysis, microscopy)

- Evaluation of compressibility of tableting materials using the parameters of compaction equations, energy profile of compression, parameters of the stress relaxation test and the tablet crushing kinetic

- Evaluation of liquid dosage forms (density, viscosity, osmolality, surface tension)


We are open to a wide spectrum of collaboration with academic partners as well as with partners from the industry.
