Better bioavailability reduces amount of API required, production costs, and risk of side effects. GMP-compliant units produce batches of 15 milliliters to 4,000 liters. Laboratory mills accept grinding chambers in range of sizes, use grinding media of 0.05 to 2 millimeters, and separate media from product using centrifugal force. Com- pany supplies FAT, IQ, OQ, and PQ validation documentation. CIP and sterilize- in-place systems are optional for pilot- and production-scale mills. Data recording and formulation management are also available. Netzsch Premier Technologies, Exton, PA. Tel. 800 676 6455 www.netzsch.com/gd Deduster features variable-speed control Stainless steel deduster simultaneously elevates and dedusts up to 1 million tablets per hour. Features include variable-speed control, automatic polishing of sides/angles, and long dedusting path. Feeding height ranges from 33 to 39 inches; chute adjusts between 42 and 48 inches. Company also offers tablet compression tooling, tablet presses, replacement parts, accessories, and services. Natoli Engineering, St. Charles, MO. Tel. 636 926 8900 www.natoli.com Lactose improves compactabily, flowability FlowLac lactose is made by spray-drying finely milled alpha lactose monohydrate suspension. In amorphous form, it offers superior compactability over crystalline alpha lactose mono- hydrate due to its plastic deformation. FlowLac 100 also pro- vides better flowability than other lactoses, and FlowLac 90 has better compactibility than FlowLac 100 and is practically dust-free. Both products are for direct compression and can be used in capsule formulations to improve flow of APIs. Other benefits include low hygroscopicity, high stability, and fast disintegration. Company provides wide range of other pharma-grade lactoses and co-processed excipients for direct compression. Meggle, Pawling, NY. Tel. 845 289 0264 www.meggle-pharma.com
