Imaging Particle Analysis - Characterization of Microencapsulations in Pharmaceuticals

Microencapsulation processes are increasingly being used in the pharmaceutical industry, as they offer many benefits, including:

• Keeping API's active and stable - longer shelf life
• Ability to release on demand - more targeted delivery
• Lower dose requirements
• Masking odors and tastes in oral delivered medicines
• Potential for reduced side-effects

FlowCAM is being used by several drug manufacturers in formulation research and production applications where microencapsulation is being used in the delivery methods.
