Softgel dosage forms represent a modern take on the traditional tablet product, the most common type of pharmaceutical product produced. In the patients hand, a softgel can seem like a simple product not knowing there are numerous complexities that go into its manufacture. But for the manufacturer, without a clear understanding of the science behind the ingredients or the expertise in the manufacturing process, unacceptable finished products may be produced.
This 2-hour accredited training course first covers the critical product/process design components for Softgels and the rotary die process. After reviewing the design requirements, the process setup, in-process controls and adjustments required to meet the product design objectives are considered. In process testing and process feedback adjustments are reviewed on a best practices basis. Aspects of formulation of fill and shell and material transfer systems are reviewed.
The program concludes by focusing on defect elimination: Leakers and investigating issues of content uniformity.
This course is intended for all scientists and technologists interested in developing a basic understanding of the critical process, materials and in-process tests used in the manufacturing of Softgels for Pharmaceutical, Nutritional, and related industries.
The material will be presented in such a way as to be of value to varying levels of expertise.
This course will especially benefit those in:
– Regulatory Affairs
– QA/QC
– Validation
– Manufacturing
– R & D
– Suppliers
