About "Accelerating Access to Medicines" Workshop – AATM 2025
The "Accelerating Access to Medicines" Workshop, organized by RCPE, will take place on April 1-2, 2025, at the Austrian Embassy in Washington, DC. This high-level event will bring together experts from the FDA, leading pharmaceutical companies, equipment providers, and academia to discuss solutions for expediting medicine development and delivery.
With the increasing complexity of pharmaceuticals, evolving regulatory landscapes, and growing demand for personalized treatments, the workshop will explore cutting-edge approaches such as nano-drugs, continuous manufacturing, and digital process development tools. Attendees will gain valuable insights into regulatory expectations and innovative strategies to enhance pharmaceutical manufacturing efficiency.
Presentation - Understanding the relation between permeability and packing fraction to improve tablet manufacturing
Filip Fracqui, Managing Director at Granutools, will present "Understanding the relation between permeability and packing fraction to improve tablet manufacturing."
Tablet manufacturing is a complex process where die filling plays a crucial role in ensuring uniformity, porosity, and tensile strength. The efficiency of this step is strongly influenced by powder permeability, which determines how air escapes from the die, affecting powder densification and, ultimately, tablet quality.
In our study, we introduce a new methodology combining GranuPack measurements—which precisely control powder densification—with the permeability cell to assess permeability at different packing fractions. By analyzing various lactose-based excipients and lubricant mixtures, we establish a clear correlation between powder permeability and tablet tensile strength. These insights contribute to optimizing formulations and improving processability, leading to more efficient and high-quality tablet production.
