SPRAY DRYING RESEARCH

Spray drying is an important technology for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and personal care industries. It is suitable for use with a wide range of materials, including drugs, proteins and peptides, polymers, lipids and fatty acids. Its applications include formulation, targeted delivery and microencapsulation of active ingredients to enhance their performance. Actives can be spray dried alone or co-spray dried with excipients in order to improve their stability or alter their release kinetics.

Upperton has significant expertise in the use and manipulation of spray drying and in the surface modification of the spray dried particles, enabling the creation of particles with the required characteristics. We call this Particle Engineering. Upperton is keen to collaborate with companies who wish to use our Particle Engineering expertise in the development of their own products.
