Spray drying is a continuous, reproducible, cost-effective and scalable process for the production of dry powders from a liquid solution or suspension by rapidly drying with a hot gas. Spray drying is part of the wider microencapsulation technologies family, yet it has an amazing versatility. The main reason for its growth in the pharmaceutical industry in the recent years has been the formulation of amorphous solid dispersions for oral drugs to increase the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble compounds. Spray drying can be conveniently applied also to the manufacturing of dry powders for inhalation, microencapsulation of oxygen sensitive actives, taste masking, or powder in capsules for First-In-Man studies.
However, spray drying alone might be too short a story. Considering the Drug Product manufacturing perimeter as a whole, it is easy to understand that there is much more than just spray drying in a project that requires spray drying as enabling technology.
Spray drying technology needs an ecosystem to deliver its best and reduce the development time.
In this webinar we will take you on a journey to show how an ideal spray drying ecosystem should be. We will guide you to an ideal observatory, looking at the whole picture in which the enabling technology is paramount but in which, without the rest of the components, issues may arise increasing the project costs and delaying the time to market.
