Spray Drying
The Upperton spray drying service offers you the chance to evaluate how your drug can benefit from the use of spray drying. Working with us is the quickest, most cost-effective way of assessing the impact of this versatile technology on the formulation of your compound.
Spray drying is a flexible yet highly reproducible process that can operate with quantities as small as a few hundred milligrams up to several tonnes. Scale-up and technology transfer is relatively straightforward and applications in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry are wide ranging and continue to grow.
Some typical uses of spray drying include the following applications:
- Producing dry powders for delivery in tablets and capsules
- Enhancing solubility /bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs
- Creating stable formulations containing proteins and peptides
- Microencapsulation for modified release and taste-masking
