Particle Analytical bringing new characterization and polymorph opportunities to CPhI Barcelona

Hørsholm, Denmark: – Particle Analytical, the Danish-based CRO that specializes in analyzing particle properties, will attend the upcoming CPhI Worldwide pharma summit in Barcelona with new collaboration opportunities on particle characterization and polymorph studies.

Particle Analytical CEO, Søren Lund Kristensen will lead the company’s presence at CPhI and will be available for meetings at the show.

Polymorph and characterization

“I’m looking forward to attending CPhI Barcelona and the chance to meet some of our current and potential customers,” said Mr. Kristensen.

“I would be very interested to meet anyone interested in possibilities for outsourcing activities in physical characterization and polymorph studies,” he added.

Mr. Kristensen is inviting CPhI delegates interested in setting up a meeting at Fira de Barcelona to contact Particle Analytical at [email protected] or at the address below.

DVS capability

Particle Analytical’s recently significantly increased its capabilities to add value to APIs and early phase medicines by acquiring dynamic vapor sorption technology, with photo documentation of analyses that allows it to investigate polymorphy and hygroscopicity in greater detail.

“These instruments give us highly useful capability in developing market-leading ingredients and drugs by measuring sorption and desorption properties of a sample providing greater insights on how soon and how much it absorbs or adsorbs any given solvent,” said Kristensen.

About Particle Analytical

Particle Analytical ApS is a contract laboratory (CRO) that specializes in analysis of physical parameters of particles, powders or emulsions, using a range of advanced techniques.

Founded in year 2000, the laboratory has become one of Denmark’s most rapidly expanding companies, twice winning the national ‘Growth Gazelle’ award.

It is one of the few laboratories in Europe to offer a complete range of services dedicated to analysis of powders, including particle size, and all physical chemical properties. These services are primarily focused on the pharmaceutical industry, where particle and powder analysis are essential in controlling compound properties during development, both with regard to production process and behavior in vivo.

Unique analysis services include determination of refraction index, fast compatibility screenings of excipients and determination of the crystalline proportions of samples.

Particle Analytical’s leading-edge capabilities include laser diffraction, XRD, thermal analysis, dynamic light scattering, microscopy, BET, dynamic vapor sorption, density measurement and air permeability. The laboratory is fully certificated as cGMP compliant by the Danish authorities and is also registered with the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

Particle Analytical services can either be used in routine analysis, separately to solve specific problems, or in parallel to larger drug development programs. These services include particle size determination, examination of physical properties, polymorph screening, method development and validation.
