About The Event
Measure particle size distributions quickly and reproducibly using laser diffraction. Particle size plays a fundamental role in pharmaceutical development, influencing how materials are processed, manufactured, and ultimately how drug products perform. Understanding particle size is essential for controlling powder flow, blend uniformity, dissolution, bioavailability, manufacturability, and final product quality. In this webinar, we will discuss why particle size measurement is an essential part of drug development and quality control, and how laser diffraction can be used to rapidly and reproducibly characterize APIs, excipients, intermediates, and finished products. Using practical examples, we will demonstrate how particle size analysis can be used to monitor changes caused by milling, crystallization, granulation, and drying processes, helping scientists better understand and control material properties throughout development and manufacturing. The session will also introduce the Mastersizer platform and explain why laser diffraction has become one of the most widely used techniques for pharmaceutical particle size characterization.
