1. Twin-screw granulation and high-shear granulation: The influence of mannitol grade on granule and tablet properties

   out of 5 stars 

   Contributor(s):: Megarry, Andrew, Taylor, Agnes, Gholami, Aida, Wikstrom, Hakan, Tajarobi, Pirjo

   Granule structure has a key influence on tablet critical quality attributes. The ability to control this structure through excipient choice is an important part of formulation development. Mannitol is a popular diluent and the choice of input grade has been shown to impact granule properties....

2. The use of Rheology Combined with Differential Scanning Calorimetry to Elucidate the Granulation Mechanism of an Immiscible Formulation During Continuous Twin-Screw Melt Granulation

   Contributor(s):: Monteyne, Tinne, Heeze, Liza, Mortier, Severine Therese F. C., Oldoerp, Klaus, Cardinaels, Ruth, Nopens, Ingmar, Vervaet, Chris, Remon, Jean-Paul, De Beer, Thomas

   Twin screw hot melt granulation (TS HMG) is a valuable, but still unexplored alternative to continuous granulation of moisture sensitive drugs. However, knowledge of the material behavior during TS HMG is crucial to optimize the formulation, process and resulting granule properties. The aim of...

3. The Use of PAT and Off-line Methods for Monitoring of Roller Compacted Ribbon and Granule Properties with a View to Continuous Processing

   Contributor(s):: McAuliffe M.A.P., Omahony G.E., Blackshields C.A., Collins J.A., Egan D.P., Kiernan L., Oneill E., Lenihan S., Walker G.M., Crean A.M.

   Real-time process monitoring using process analytical technology (PAT) tools can augment process understanding, enable improved process control, and hence facilitate the production of high-quality pharmaceutical products. While beneficial for batch processes, the availability of PAT tools to...

4. Characteristics of multi-component formulation granules formed using distributive mixing elements in twin screw granulation

   out of 5 stars 

   Contributor(s):: Pradhan, Shankali U., Sen, Maitraye, Li, Jiayu, Gabbott, Ian, Reynolds, Gavin, Litster, James D., Wassgren, Carl R.

   This work examines the influence of pharmaceutical powder formulation characteristics on granule properties formed using distributive mixing elements (DMEs) in twin screw granulation. High and low drug dose formulations with three different active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) were...
