Surfactants: Chemistry, Theory,and Application

The high surface tension of water presents challenges to a formulator who attempts to develop products that will properly wet surfaces, disperse pigments, emulsify key components, or even generate or destabilize foam. This accredited course on surfactants (chemistry, theory, mechanism, and application) initially reviews the various types and chemical structures of commercially available surfactants. An… Continue reading Surfactants: Chemistry, Theory,and Application

Rheology: Chemistry, Theory, and Application

We must understand how materials are affected, by their flow behavior, as a result of applied stress forces. This knowledge will allow a formulator to develop products with the best possible outcome considering production, storage, packaging, and application. This intensive, accredited training course on rheology (chemistry, theory, mechanism, and application) reviews the basic principles of… Continue reading Rheology: Chemistry, Theory, and Application

Optimization of Powders for Flowability

There are several metrics that formulators use to quantify the flowability of powder blends, including angle of repose, Carr and Hausner ratios, FFC, and flow energies. They all have one thing in common: none will predict whether or not a powder will flow in a hopper. Frequently, powders that are deemed easy flowing exhibit flow… Continue reading Optimization of Powders for Flowability

Introduction to CAPA Management

There have been several form 483s and warning letters being issued to companies by the FDA as it relates to CAPA investigation because of insufficient or incomplete quality systems procedures applicable to Corrective Action and Preventative Action programs(CAPA). Addressing an FDA form 483 with findings associated with CAPA systems must be performed adequately, and completely… Continue reading Introduction to CAPA Management

Introduction to Batch Record Review

Regulatory Agencies require firms to have written procedures in place to document production and process controls, better known as batch records. Additionally, there must be written procedures for a batch record review process to demonstrate compliance. A strong batch record review system is essential to properly document all critical and operational process parameters that go… Continue reading Introduction to Batch Record Review
