Characterization of powder and optimization of processing methods.
“It is necessary that your powder processing methods are optimized and finely tuned to provide maximum outputs with superior standards, high dissolution capabilities, better flow properties, easier blending, improved stability and better bioavailability, whether they are ultimately converted into capsules, or used in the form of aerosol, or transformed into suspensions.”
Pharmaceutical manufacturing processes often involve the use of powders. Analysis and optimization of powder behaviour can help in formulating clinically effective products, developing time and cost-efficient processes and, ultimately, in successfully manufacturing a high-quality product consistently. This is particularly important as the physical properties of powder have an impact on processes like blending as well as capsule and tablet production. Effective powder characterisation is used by the pharma industry for providing core knowledge that creates better powder understanding and control. So, it is critical to have optimized powders.
The challenges
Many variables influence powder behaviour. Primary factors include particle size, shape, surface energy, morphology and roughness, but system variables will also have a profound impact. The degree of aeration and the level of moisture have a big role to play too. In many systems, the adjustments made by the R&D teams to achieve improved properties like enhanced delivery might impact the morphology of the powders. Furthermore, when it is scaled up for high volume production, it could lead to a non-uniform quality in the production system. This indicates that reproducible measurement and consistent processing depends on keeping a significant number of influential variables constant. Particle properties influence critical parts of product performance such as the dissolution rate, catalytic activity, or the surface finish delivered by an abrasive and hence characterisation and optimization is necessary.

star reviewA very good lab delivering acurate results. I must also mention about the very cordial staff that they have.
Thank you for your services.. Looking forward for more collaboration with your labs for my future projects..
I am a PhD scholar from Kaunas University at Lithuania, Europe. I have given a sample to perform SEM analysis of the organic tissue. The results are highly satisfactory and impressive. The service was really excellent, on time( even before the time schedule), consumer friendly. cost to the academic samples are very less comparing with others. Once again thanks to Nishka for providing me the service ontime as I am really in urgency...
Great work done by nishka research. Thank you so much for your kind Co operation
Submitted the samples for my phd work . Great work and reports submited with 2 days of time . Also the image clarity and all data are clear .
