Within the pharmaceutical industry, inline near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is one of the most commonly applied process analytical technologies to monitor content uniformity of powder blends (1).

This article introduces the concepts of pooled variance and the central limit theorem, which are intended for establishing acceptance criteria for blend uniformity data of granular powder blends when ...

Additionally, Content Uniformity (CU), which relies heavily on the proper blend uniformity of the final pharmaceutical product, must be verified for product release. During the development process, ...

There are a number of different steps involved in the tableting process of pharmaceutical powders. The most important of these is of course the filling of the die, and the compaction of the powder. It ...

Formulation scientists are behind the conversion of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) into stable, bioavailable, and commercially viable dosage forms, rarely a simple process. Image Credit: ...
