Surface area and porosity are two important physical properties that determine the quality and utility of pharmaceutical materials. Differences in the surface area and porosity of particles within the material, which otherwise may have the same physical dimensions, can greatly influence its performance characteristics. Surface area and porosity play major roles in the purification, processing, blending, tableting and packaging of pharmaceutical products as well as the drug’s useful shelf life, its dissolution rate and bio-availability. In other healthcare applications such as regenerative medicine tissue scaffolds, controlling and optimizing the porosity of the scaffold material will help the tissue regrowth process. In analytical laboratories the use of materials with well-defined pore sizes and high surface areas are used in biochemical and pharmaceutical separation science. Understanding the physical properties of pharmaceutical solid materials is key to successful drug product and process development. These physical properties can have an impact on the material’s bulk properties, product performance, processability, stability and product appearance. The melting point, chemical reactivity, apparent solubility, dissolution rate, optical and mechanical properties, vapour pressure, and density can all be affected. GLP, GCP or cGMP compliant physical characterization services assist with formulation or process development, regulatory submission data, QC testing, GMP lot release and manufacturing troubleshooting.
