The Hidden Influence of Dwell Time on Tablet Manufacturing Excellence
Dwell time, a critical parameter in tablet manufacturing, wields a substantial influence on tablet quality and the overall production process. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the concept of dwell time, its profound impact on tablet compression, and the multifaceted factors that it influences. Unveiling the Essence of Dwell Time Dwell time, within the context of tablet compression, refers to the duration during which the punches of the tablet compression machine cease their vertical motion, reaching maximum penetration within the die beneath the primary compression rollers. This critical phase occurs as the compression rollers make contact with the flat …
In-Depth Insights into Tablet Formulation Techniques
Tableting represents a range of processes used to transform a powdered formulation into solid tablet form. Formulation Phase The initial phase involves creating the tablet’s formulation, a critical step, particularly for pharmaceutical-grade tablets containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Here, meticulous attention to ingredient ratios is crucial. Excipients or “fillers,” including binders, diluents, lubricants, and disintegrants, are often present. The percentage of API in the final tablet is known as the “drug load.” Granulation Techniques: To ensure the optimal particle size distribution for effective tablet formation, the powder material often undergoes granulation. There are two primary granulation methods: Wet Granulation: This …
Safe and Sterile: Unveiling the Key Packaging Solution For Parenteral Drugs
In pharmaceutical industries, the need to maintain the sterility of products is a key requirement. Sterile packaging systems eliminates the risks of microbial contamination of the product or packaging without compromising on the quality of the goods being packed or transported. The process of sterilisation involves the use of a sterile manufacturing vessel, a washing machine for bottles, vials, ampoules etc.., sterile blending vessels, and a depyrogenation tunnel, among others. When it comes to packaging parenteral products, there are six primary sterile packaging systems in use today. Each of these systems offers unique advantages and is chosen based on various …
Understanding Ampoules and Vials: Differences and Applications
Pharmaceutical containers are designed to protect pharmaceutical drugs like injectables or dry powder injectables from external influences. These containers not only store the products being manufactured but also keep it from contamination. What is Ampoule? The ampoule, with its roots dating back to ancient Rome, where it was first used around the 1st century AD, is a small, sealed-neck single-dose vial. Historically, it has been employed across various cultures and regions. However, it gained prominence in the pharmaceutical field during the 19th century. Typically made of glass (though plastic variants exist), ampoules ensure sterility by sealing the neck with an …

A Comprehensive Guide to Capsules: Types, Materials, and Encapsulation Processes
1) What are capsules? Capsules are typically made of gelatin or other suitable materials and contain the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the form of a powder, granules, or pellets. A capsule filler machine & accessory equipment for capsule filling machine ensures that the required dosage is filled within the capsule. The capsule shell is designed to enclose the drug and facilitate its ingestion. 2) Capsule types Capsules are oral dosage forms with hard or soft shells, available in various shapes and sizes, containing a single dose of one or more active ingredients. The process of encapsulation can be used …
Ensuring Safety and Efficiency: The Importance of Containment Systems in the Pharmaceutical Industry
A containment system, also known as an isolator, is an enclosed structure mainly made of SS 316L is designed to provide a controlled environment for handling hazardous substances or materials. It serves as a barrier between the operator and the product, preventing the potential release of harmful contaminants and protecting the operator from exposure. Containment systems have been in use in the pharmaceutical industry for several decades. The need for increased safety measures became apparent with the rise in the production of potent drugs, such as cytotoxic or highly active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The first aseptic containment system were introduced in the 1980s as …
