e-SPRESSO WEBINAR: Addressing Active Pharmaceuticals and Excipient Expectations: Surface Area Measurements with Velocity

Solid dosage formulations for drug delivery are designed around the requirements of bioavailability and manufacturability. There exists a need, therefore, to understand how particles of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and excipients might physically interact with each other when granulated and pressed into tablets, or how they might act as loose powders, in terms of interfacial area both for solid-solid interactions and solid-liquid dissolution. Surface area and pore size measurements play a fundamental role, above and beyond particle size, in understanding and developing suitable formulations that have desirable mechanical and physico-chemical properties.

The new Anton Paar Nova 600/800 series brings state-of-the-art physisorption technology, according to the NOVA design principles, to this demanding application.

Nova series combines next-generation hardware, and accompanying software features, to deliver:

Operational simplicity and sample tracking across the entire analysis workflow: for both preparation and measurement

Velocity, so you can have both speed of analysis and precision, even for low surface areas and pore sizes

Adaptability, so you can keep pace with your analytical needs – from surface area today, to pore size tomorrow.
