Articles by Granutools

GI/ORAL
Dr Aurelien Neveu
POWDER CHARACTERISATION FOR PHARMACEUTICALS: BEYOND STANDARDS
Aurélien Neveu, Marco Lupo and Filip Francqui discuss the limitations of current standardised procedures for assessing the properties of pharmaceutical powders and how Granutools’ instruments – GranuPack and GranuHeap – offer a significant improvement.
PULMONARY
Dr Salvatore Pillitteri
POWDER CHARACTERISATION FOR DPI PERFORMANCE IN CAPSULE-BASED INHALERS
Salvatore Pillitteri, Aurélien Neveu and Sarah Zellnitz-Neugebauer discuss the analysis of three powder blends of salbutamol sulphate with distinct lactose grades, using tapped density and rotating drum methods.
GI/ORAL
Dr Aurelien Neveu
INFLUENCE OF ADDITIVES ON THE ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE BUILD-UP OF EXCIPIENTS
Aurélien Neveu, Devang Patel and Filip Francqui present a study investigating the influence of additives on the tribocharging behaviour of two excipients using Granutools’ GranuCharge instrument.
PULMONARY
Dr Aurelien Neveu
CHARACTERISATION OF LACTOSE POWDERS FOR DPI APPLICATIONS
Aurélien Neveu, Michael Crowley and Tony McGorisk discuss the characterisation of lactose powders for use as excipients in DPI formulations. The authors go on to discuss an analysis of six Kerry lactose powders using GranuTools technology.
GI/ORAL
Dr Aurelien Neveu
THE FLOWABILITY OF LACTOSE POWDERS TO OPTIMISE TABLETING PROCESSES
Aurélien Neveu, Pauline Janssen and Geoffroy Lumay discuss how new measurement methods can help gain a better understanding of the flowability of lactose powders – a necessary step for future improvement of oral delivery systems.
RESPIRATORY
Dr Geoffroy Lumay
HOW TO GAIN A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF POWDER FLOW PROPERTIES, AND THE BENEFITS OF DOING SO
Geoffroy Lumay, Naveen Mani Tripathi and Filip Francqui show how the association of three recently developed flow measurement techniques can be used to gain valuable insights into powder properties and characteristics.
INDUSTRIALISATION
Dr Quentin Ribeyre
MEASURING THE INFLUENCE OF TALC ON THE PROPERTIES OF LACTOSE POWDERS
Quentin Ribeyre et al describe how three of the company’s instruments can be used to characterise powder properties and behaviour, exemplified by experiments investigating the effects of adding talc to different lactose grades.
