(PM) Essen, 20.12.2012 - The main focus of the conference is on innovative technologies such as the application of nanoparticulate systems or formulations containing Hot Melt Extrudates during the development and production of pharmaceutical drugs.

Experienced specialists with top expertise, under the chairmanship of Dr. Matthias Rischer (Losan Pharma GmbH, Neuenburg) and Dr. Norbert Windhab (Evonik Industries AG, Darmstadt), will present their theoretical observations within the context of their long-standing practical experience.

Furthermore the conference contains the following contents:

- Hot Melt Technology
- Nanoparticulate systems
- Particle size measurement
- Dissolution set-up and media
- Scale-up
- PLGA and Polymer-systems
- Depot formulations
- Process development
- Process efficacy
- Poorly soluble drug substances
- Stability
- High active compounds

During the course the particle size measurement, dissolution set-up and media are discussed and even the process development for immediate, delayed and sustained release formulations for oral application. The use of the correct polymers for a target release profile will be specifically discussed. Finally, several case studies from the industrial practice will give a good over- view of the advantages of these innovative technologies compared to the conventional techniques especially for poorly soluble compounds.

The conference is aimed at members of the pharmaceutical industry working in R&D, production and analytical development, members of Universities, Universities of applied sciences working in pharmaceutical technology, analytical or process development. The conference will be completely in English.

A detailed conference programme is available from Haus der Technik:
