Granulation, Tabletting and Capsule Technology

Who Should Attend
This broadly based course is intended for all scientists and technologists concerned with the development and processing of tablets, capsules and similar products with related drug regulatory affairs.

The material will be presented in such a way as to be of value to a varying level of expertise. This course will especially benefit those in:

  • Quality Assurance 
  • Marketing
  • Validation 
  • Purchasing
  • R&D 
  • Regulatory Affairs
  • Manufacturing/Production 
  • Engineering Support

Note: Persons seeking an in-depth treatment of only one or two of the major topics of this broadly based program may wish to consider alternative, more specialized courses offered by CfPA in this area of technology.

Description
The principle aim of this course is to review the science behind tabletted and encapsulated products. The course begins by considering the raw materials, their characteristics, testing and sampling, and progresses through the formulation of solid dosage forms to manufacturing technology, processes and equipment, including scale-up and technology transfer. The program finishes with key aspects of the evaluation of finished products and the regulatory constraints that must be considered at each stage in the process. The formal sessions of the course will be supplemented with informal discussion periods between lecturers and the participants. Problem solving sessions are held on both an open and private basis.
