There is an ongoing need to improve tablet quality under controlled laboratory conditions, in a way that is affordable and accessible to smaller businesses.
This UK company has developed a computer controlled instrument for research and development that could drive forward the development of better tablets and the study of the compaction process of powdered materials, The benchtop press can generate and interpret data readily enabling the user to measure the difference between a good tablet and a bad tablet by controlling the force used to make the tablet.
The company is seeking pharmaceutical companies with existing products that can benefit from this new process and machinery, and are offering their support in the transfer of this technology via commercial agreement with technical assistance, joint venture or technical cooperation agreement.
