Understanding the Solid-state / Particle Design space is critical for the successful development of many Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). Our solid form team, integrated within our R&D department, offers comprehensive support for customer project development. This approach ensures that solid-state expertise is a fundamental part of each stage of process development, delivering highly valuable outcomes.

Our solid-state
Studies go beyond exploring the polymorphic landscape of an API or HPAPI and its impact on bioavailability. They are an essential component of process development, which combine scientific rigor with a manufacturing-driven approach, such as:
Select the Optimal
Crystalline Candidate
We carefully evaluate crystal form and morphology to ensure the most suitable candidate for production and performance.
Develop Scalable
Crystallisation Processes
Our robust processes are designed for smooth scalability from lab to production, ensuring suitable filtration properties and meeting the required quality attributes of the final product.
Define Robust Seeding Parameters
Through metastable zone width determination, we establish precise seeding points for controlled crystallization.
Conduct Comprehensive
Screening Studies
We perform in-depth polymorph, salt and cocrystal screening, including characterisation and relative stability assessments.
Optimize Chiral Resolution
Our team enhances processability through advanced approaches for diastereomeric salt formation and entrainment.
Engineer Scalable Processes
Solubility studies and phase diagram investigations enable us to develop processes ready for industrial-scale implementation.
Enhance Filtration and Drying
By assessing specific cake resistance and compressibility, we optimize filtration and drying performance.
Refine Particle Size
We leverage advanced dry and wet milling and micronisation technologies for precise particle size control.
Control Particle Size Distribution
We meticulously manage particle size to adhere to strict customer specifications.
Safeguard Intellectual Property (IP)
Our expertise underpins IP development to protect innovations.
