Microspheres with high drug loading suitable for taste masking, enteric coatings, and extended release oral applications
Optimμm® technology overcomes many of the inefficiencies and deficits of traditional techniques. Optimμm® offers a wide range of modified release options using flexible format powders. It can match an extended release tablet’s performance in a suspension format. And with Optimμm® you don’t have to sacrifice taste to achieve a dispersed solid oral dosage form.
Optimμm® delivers on the promise of precision microparticles at a previously unachievable scale
- Particle sizes down to 75 μm with Span values as low as 0.40
- Uses a nitrogen “carrier” stream
- Analogous to spray congealing
- No drying step or coating required
- Compatible with waxes, lipids, stearates, and gelatins
- Good for oral small molecules, nutraceuticals, agricultural applications, flavorings, and heat stable molecules
