CONTRACT SPRAY DRYING
Spray drying is an important formulation
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. Spray
drying can also be used to improve solubility and to
form particles suitable for pulmonary drug delivery.
The growth in specialized
applications for spray drying is driven by a number
of advantages over competing technologies such as freeze
drying and micronisation. These advantages include lower
processing costs, ease and speed of scale-up, and an
ability to transform solutions into highly defined particles
in seconds.
