Technical Expertise
Excipients & Formulation
At our six Technical Centers, our dedicated team of more than 30 pharmaceutical experts delivers unrivalled excellence in formulation characterization. We’ll work with you to meet your technical requirements, as you develop your capabilities and product pipeline.
Our approach is uniquely focused by application, where we have expertise in oral solid dosage forms, liquid suspensions, topicals and pulmonary drug delivery.
The added value offered through the specialist skills of our people includes in-depth knowledge of specific challenges such as controlled release and bioavailability enhancement, alongside reverse engineering to de-cipher formulations and feasibility studies to help choose the best process. We also support with concept development for pharmaceutical and also nutraceutical formulations based on regulatory and market trends, where we devise packaged solutions for health categories including immunity, cognitive, wellbeing, bone health and more.
