28 September 2015 Tablets & Capsules A survey of what's available Lipid encapsulation Lipidex technology platform integrates company's lipid, liquid, and semi-solid filling technologies with its product develop- ment expertise and commercial manufacturing infrastructure. Lipid- and liquid-based formulations address poor bioavailabil- ity and solubility of APIs because lipid excipients disperse, sol- ubilize, and maintain solubility of difficult APIs in GI fluid. Company offers models that identify optimum formulation space faster than conventional matrix screening. Expertise encompasses softgels, liquid-filled hard capsules (including veg- etarian options), and proprietary solid lipid pellet technology. Capabilities include small- and commercial-scale manufacturing of controlled substances, hormones, and highly potent APIs. Capsugel, Greenwood, SC. Tel. 888 783 6361 www.capsugel.com CoQH-CF softgels Company offers contract manufacturing of soft gelatin cap- sules to dietary supplement industry, including branded prod- ucts and turnkey custom formulations. It focuses on high- value supplements and ingredients that are difficult to encapsulate, fragile to work with, or difficult to absorb. Prod- ucts include CoQH-CF, a reduced, stabilized form of coen- zyme Q10 (CoQ10, or ubiquinol), which is vital to mito- chondrial energy production in almost all cells, especially those of cardiovascular and nervous systems. CoQH-CF soft- gels (photo), manufactured in company's full-service, GMP- certified (via NPA and NSF) facility, optimize bioavailability. Soft Gel Technologies, Los Angeles, CA. Tel. 800 360 7484 www.soft-gel.com Double-band capsule sealer Hipcapseal S-100 capsule sealer applies two bands around hard capsules filled with liquids, oils, semi-solids, and/or pastes to provide leak-proof, hermetic seal of capsule cap to capsule body. Double-banding ensures that any air bubbles or unevenness in first band are offset by second band. Unit seals as many as 100,000 gelatin or HPMC capsules per hour. Qualicaps, Whitsett, NC. Tel. 800 227 7853 www.qualicaps.com liquid capsule filling Softgel drying trays Trays for drying softgels are manufactured from composites, which imbue them with strength, dimensional stability, and heat resistance. Durability of composite construction ensures long service life. Stackable trays save space and streamline han- dling, don't distort or warp, and eliminate the hot spots com- mon to metal trays. Trays withstand temperatures as high as 250°F during continuous drying and as high as 300°F during intermittent drying. Smooth surfaces prevent softgel damage. Tray depth is 25 to 51 millimeters. Low sides and/or ends of the tray allow air to circulate over and around the softgels. Molded Fiber Glass Tray, Linesville, PA. Tel. 814 683 4500 www.mfgtray.com
