Analytical chemistry plays a crucial role in characterizing and understanding materials produced through nanoforming. We use a variety of techniques to analyze our nanoparticles and formulations with state-of-the-art equipment and software to accurately measure nanoparticles properties, such as purity, size, shape and crystallinity. This information is both essential for understanding how to develop our formulations and predict how drugs will perform in vivo, and in generating unique IP positions for drug products.
The solid-state properties of our nanoparticles are also a key area of focus for our team. By carefully manipulating these properties, we can control solubility, stability, and bioavailability.
Nanoparticle characterization is a critical aspect of our pharmaceutical development.
