Merlin can carry out small scale manufacture and compaction testing to help speed up your development process. Direct compression blends can be simply made using our Turbula T2 blender.
Roller Compaction Simulation:
Dry granulation methods are important for the creation of materials with suitable flow and density properties for tabletting. The quality of the final tablet is dependent upon the properties of the granules, in particular, the porosity profiles of the ribbons produced. The compaction simulator can be used to simulate a roller compactor, using small batches of formulation. Compacts of known density are prepared which are milled to form granules to assess granule compactability. A formulation assessment can be made with as little as 50-100g of formulation.
