Natoli Institute announces 'The Tablet Manufacturing Process' training course

The Natoli Institute for Industrial Pharmaceutical Research and Development presents its inaugural tabletting course, The Tablet Manufacturing Process, on 16–19 August 2015.

The course offers a comprehensive, hands-on experience with the tablet manufacturing process from formulation development to tablet design to tablet compression, all presented in a state-of-the-art lab at the Arnold and Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences on the Brooklyn campus of Long Island University.

Academic and industrial experts will cover powder preparation techniques and the science behind best practices that will help participants overcome a wide array of tabletting challenges. Key areas of concentration include understanding powder characterisation and its effect on tablet compression, excipient selection, formulation development, hot melt extrusion and the science of tablet press operation.

Participants will receive 21.5 hours of ACPE Pharmacist Accreditation upon course completion.

The Natoli Institute provides resources to the tabletting industry, including new product manufacturing studies, tablet tooling sticking and picking evaluations and new formulation technologies. Not only does the facility provide an environment for students to learn industrial pharmacy unit operations for oral solid dosage forms, it also provides an opportunity for Natoli customers to have their tableting problems investigated.
