Size Reduction Technology

Particle size reduction provides a number of attractions to the pharmaceutical formulator for the enhanced delivery of drugs with low aqueous solubility, primarily it markedly increases in surface area to volume ratio.

Small Scale Micronisation- PI CIC offers lab scale micronisation minimum requirement 2g
Nanoprocessing- Preparation of liquid /solid dosage forms of nanoparticulate suspensions/solids.
Through our partners Lena Nanoceutics the PI CIC can offer access to proven, cost effective, rapid and consistent particle size reduction technology that has been shown to produce nanoparticles (in the range 200-400nm) in aqueous suspension. Controlled stability studies have proven that the suspensions are stable over a period of 6 months. These nanoparticles have successfully been incorporated into solid dosage forms to provide enhanced in-vivo dissolution and absorption for drugs with low aqueous solubility.
