Moving from batch to continuous production
When it comes to early stage exploration and discovery of lipid –based formulations, there is a need to look beyond the traditional methods such as melt spray congeal (MSC). Although MSC is an industry standard, it poses several challenges for a formulations scientist in terms of the minimal volumes that can be handled, the tunability of the process itself and the quality of the products obtained.
To address these challenges, Matralix has developed a continuous flow-based, low footprint microencapsulation system that requires minimal sample volumes and is highly tunable – allowing a scientist to produce a series of products during a single production run.
