Leverage Pharmaceutical Spray Drying
Poor water solubility can prevent your drug product from achieving its full bioavailability potential. To overcome this barrier and optimize your drug’s efficacy, our expert team offers pharmaceutical spray drying for amorphous solid dispersions. This advanced technique effectively removes crystallinity and maximizes soluble concentration at the site of absorption.
Spray drying also proves to be an efficient way to produce protein solids for storage and incorporation into various formulations. These protein solids can be utilized in solutions, suspensions, and capsule or tablet configurations, expanding their potential applications and benefits.
To determine if spray drying is the right technology to enable your drug development program, our team evaluates its applicability across your product lifecycle, from early-stage development to commercialization. By leveraging our knowledge and expertise, we optimize your drug’s performance and help you overcome the limitations of poor water solubility.

Diverse Molecular Support
Small Molecules
Process usually involves spray drying with volatile organic solvents, which allows us to render amorphous, non-crystalline solids. We offer the option to add in functional excipients, e.g., polymers for physical stability and/or surfactants for wettability. This approach can offer advantages in speed and cost compared to lyophilization.
Biologics
Biologics are also capable of being rendered a solid from a solution via spray drying. In this case, aqueous solutions are typically used instead of volatile organics. Biologics are more sensitive to heat of spray drying, so processes are in place to monitor the sample and mitigate the heat effect, if necessary.
