Optimized tablet formulation and production with MEDELPHARM Science Lab & KORSCH INNOVATION CENTERS

MEDELPHARM’s Science Lab and KORSCH INNOVATION CENTERs work hand in hand to provide an integrated research and technical infrastructure that supports the entire tableting process from powder formulation to scale-up to high-speed tableting.

Together, they provide comprehensive powder characterization and formulation development services to enhance manufacturing efficiency and product quality.

Development services

The MEDELPHARM Science Lab near Lyon in France and the network of KORSCH INNOVATION CENTERs in Berlin, at Hyderabad in India, and near Boston, USA, were developed independently, but both address common needs on the part of oral solid dose (OSD) manufacturers worldwide.

Both INNOVATION CENTERs and MEDELPHARM Science Lab address difficulties encountered by scientists such as:

• Difficulties in maintaining consistent tablet quality
• High rates of product loss during scale-up
• Challenges in optimizing production processes
• Increased regulatory compliance complexities
• Failure to detect tableting problems until the production stage, incurring huge costs

Through customer feedback and industry research, MEDELPHARM and KORSCH identified the need for improved support in product development and process optimization to meet evolving market demands and regulatory requirements. The MEDELPHARM Science Lab and the KORSCH INNOVATION CENTERs are their responses.

Advanced capabilities

Now unified within the same group, these R&D knowledge hubs can offer even more integrated in-depth support extending to all stages of product development and manufacturing with an extensive range of services.

These services include product development, process optimization, R&D, process support and troubleshooting, material characterization, formulation development support, and scale-up support.

The centers also provide technical training programs and specific consulting on individual needs.

In combination, they are also able to offer a distinctive range of capabilities that include advanced compaction simulator technology, access to leading-edge tablet press technology, material characterization and powder formulation expertise, tableting process experience, and tailored support for diverse industries.

Service benefits

By providing in-depth knowledge of material properties, process optimization techniques, and hands-on support for scale-up, the Science Lab and INNOVATION CENTERs enable clients to develop robust formulations, accelerate scale-up and regulatory approval and streamline production processes.

Tangible service benefits also include improved product consistency, reduced production costs, enhanced operational efficiencies, accelerated time-to-market, and easier compliance with regulatory standards.
