New Partnership to Spearhead the Development of Advanced Controls for Oral Solid Dosage Forms
An international consortium founded by RCPE and supported by Pfizer, Gasporox, Teraview, and the University of Cambridge launches a project that aims to develop novel sensor and modeling approaches to accelerate the adoption of Real-Time Release Testing (RTRT) for dissolution in continuous production settings. The project, worth a total of €536,812, including equipment and in-kind contributions, has received support through the Austrian COMET Program.

The active ingredient alone does not solve the problem…
At present, hopes for a sustainable solution to the corona crisis rest on finding as quickly as possible suitable active ingredients for the treatment of patients and for preventive vaccination. However, it must also be possible to produce these active ingredients in the shortest possible time. With traditional methods, this process takes once again months. With the “high-speed technology” developed at RCPE, the production of new active ingredients can be massively accelerated.
