K-Tron, NETZSCH, Malvern Instruments and Particle Sciences Drug Development Services present complimentary technical seminar

Malvern, UK | Posted on October 1st, 2013

K-Tron is collaborating with NETZSCH, Malvern Instruments and Particle Sciences Drug Development Services to present a complimentary technical seminar ‘Nanotechnologies: Advances in Pharmaceutical Processing & Measurement'. The seminar offers processors detailed information on the advances in material handling and nanotechnologies for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.

This one-day event will be offered on two different dates for added convenience: Tuesday, October 15th and Thursday, October 17th. It will take place at the Wyndham Garden Exton Hotel, 815 North Pottstown Pike, Exton, PA 19341 beginning at 8:00 AM and finishing at 4:00 PM.

Attendance at the seminar is free-of-charge and includes breakfast, lunch and refreshments. A simple online registration at www.ktron.com/nano is all that is required.

The technical seminar examines a wide variety of important processing technologies, and offers an objective technical overview introducing participants to methods of both improving current operations and utilizing new process technologies. It is recommended for anyone handling dry powders in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, including scientists, engineers, production and manufacturing personnel, researchers, formulation scientists, product development and process transfer personnel. The program covers feeding and conveying APIs and difficult powders, grinding and dispersing, thermal analysis, particle size analysis and contract manufacturing.

There will be a wet media milling demonstration of the NETZSCH DeltaVita 15-300 which will include the following: slurry preparation, mixing technique, mill assembly, grinding media selection and loading, flow circuit and processing, parameter evaluation and QC analysis including particle size measurement. A separate demo will showcase high accuracy feeding for the low rate addition of powders / API's via twin-screw loss-in-weight feeding.
