Getting drug molecules faster formulated

Combining few key experiments with in-silico predictions is the perfect way towards the optimal formulation for your active ingredient

Key experiments

Only few experiments with small quantities of the expensive active ingredient are required to characterize molecule-specific interactions with other compounds.

Predict long-term stability

The physical stability of amorphous formulations against crystallization and amorphous phase separation is predicted with this innovative quality-by-design approach.

Results of long-term stability tests enduring years are obtained within days.

In-silico calculations

Advanced in-silico modeling tools taking into account the specific intermolecular interactions reveal the optimal formulation and production process windows.

Designing production processes

Identify optimal solvents, solvent mixtures, processing temperatures, drying conditions (spray drying/ coating) for the formulation are assesible without any further screenings.
