Merlin Powder Characterisation We provide scientific support to tablet formulation industries.  We can help in a number of ways, for example: -Characterising the compression characteristics of new materials and excipients.  Knowing how they behave greatly increases the speed at which a sucessful formulation can be developed. -Scale up predictions. Using development scale samples, we can determine how likely the formulation will be to sucessfully scale up to full speed production and the conditions under which capping and lamination could occur.  Valuable information which can save time and money by avoiding the wrong formulations early. - Generate quantitative data for QbD purposes - Trouble shoot existing production problems to understand the route cause and identify possible solutions. - Increase your scientific undertanding of how your formulation compressess under controlled conditions. - Onsite training and conference presentations are also possible. We achieve this through the use of a hydraulic Compaction Simulator for compression,  Schulze RST-XS shear cell for flow characterisation and years of experience in the field.
