Semi-Solid and Liquid Dosage Forms
Quality Control methods
Our facilities include high-pressure homogenizers, high shear mixers, and filling equipment to support the production of semi-solid and liquid formulations. We utilize advanced systems such as Ekato Unimix LM3, Krieger multiprocessors, and Avestin Emulsiflex homogenizers to achieve optimal formulation quality.
Solid Dosage Forms
Quality Control methods
We have extensive capabilities for tablet and capsule manufacturing, including rotary and single punch tablet presses, automatic capsule fillers, and pan coaters. Our equipment supports granulation, milling, and blending operations, ensuring high-quality solid dosage forms. Key equipment includes Fette/ RoTab, Korsch tablet presses, MG2 FlexaLab capsule fillers, and O’Hara Labcoat pan coaters. Our specialized facilities also support jet-milling, extrusion, and roller compaction.
Inhalation Dosage Forms
Quality Control methods
We work primarily with powders but also handle liquid formulations for inhalation products. Our facilities support all key stages of inhalation development, including mixing, filling, particle engineering, and characterization. High shear and Turbula mixers ensure uniform blending, while filling is performed manually or with the MG2 FlexaLab capsule filler. Particle engineering is enabled by a TeknoProg jet mill and a Büchi spray dryer. Next Generation Impactor (NGI) is used for aerodynamic particle size analysis, and our pMDI capabilities allow formulation and filling of aerosol-based inhalation products.
Analytical Development & Quality Control
Quality Control methods
Our advanced analytical capabilities allow us to perform comprehensive method development, validation, and stability testing. We utilize HPLC/UPLC with multiple detection methods, dissolution apparatus, texture analyzers, and spectroscopy equipment to ensure compliance and quality control.
Key Analytical Equipment Includes:
• Chromatography Systems: HPLC/UPLC with UV, diode-array, fluorescence, and MS detection.
• Dissolution & Particle Analysis: Dissolution testers, Franz cell diffusion systems, laser diffraction particle size analyzers.
• Spectroscopy & Microscopy: FTIR spectrometer, UV-VIS spectrophotometer, light microscopy.
• Physical Testing: Texture analyzers, rheometers, viscometers, disintegration testers, friabilators, and hardness testers.
• Environmental & Stability Testing: Water activity meters, Karl Fisher titrators, osmometer, and turbiscanner for stability assessment.
Our cutting-edge technology, expert teams, and advanced analytical capabilities ensure precision, compliance, and reliability throughout the pharmaceutical development process. With extensive expertise in formulation, manufacturing, and quality control, Galenica consistently delivers high-quality pharmaceutical products, maintaining the highest standards in stability testing and regulatory compliance. As a trusted CDMO partner, we provide tailored solutions to support every stage of drug development.
