In many of my previous Syntegon articles, I have lamented the high cost of drug product development, with good reason. Developing an oral-solid-dose drug product is an expensive and risky endeavor, with formulation and process development being among the most significant and time consuming challenges.
It is no secret that formulation scientists face a host of hurdles when developing a formulation bound for tablet compression. First and foremost is achieving …More

Compromise no longer; Syntegon’s GKF 60 R&D capsule filler is here! The GKF 60 combines a small machine footprint with the durability, innovation and flexibility you have grown to expect from Syntegon. When designing the GKF 60, our mission was simple, “design it to do everything.” We think you will agree that it does exactly that.
In the OSD product development world there a few hard and fast rules; plans change; timelines shrink; and API is scarce. That is where the flexibility of the GKF 60 comes in. …More
Although Syntegon’s tamping-style capsule filling machines have set the standard for precision and durability in capsule filling for decades, that does not mean we rest on our laurels. At Syntegon, we tirelessly pursue innovations that make our industry leading equipment even better. One of the most important of those innovations to come out of Syntegon’s Waiblingen, Germany facility in recent years is slide gate technology for capsule fillers. …More
Biopharmaceutical drugs such as mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 not only differ from classical pharmaceuticals regarding production methods. They are also extremely sensitive and have a very short shelf life when stored in liquid form. Freeze-drying is often the only way to preserve these active ingredients for more than a few days. However, it is precisely the interfaces between filling and freeze drying that pose major challenges for the protection of people and products.
Developing a pharmaceutical product within a Research and Development Lab can be a very expensive and time-consuming process for OSD manufacturers. Once a stable product has been developed within the lab setting, scaling up to pilot production can prove even more daunting for scientists. Pilot-scale machines provide pharmaceutical companies the tools to better understand a manufacturing process that was successful at lab scale, while also allowing for batches at less than production scale, where design changes can still be easily executed at less cost. Syntegon offers …More
