Read MoreSupervising a Human Error Free Environment
Supervision plays a crucial role in Human Error Reduction and Control. In this fully accredited training, critical factors like preparation, planning, scheduling, communication, among many others, will be discussed. People make mistakes because they can; our systems allow it. To work with these challenges, it is essential to understand human behavior and the psychology of… Continue reading Supervising a Human Error Free Environment
Read MoreCrystallization: Mastering Seeded Antisolvent Techniques
Crystallization plays a pivotal role in the production of high-quality specialty bulk products. This process will influence particle size, purity, and product yield all while needing to be monitored and controlled to meet a product’s specifications. This fully accredited training is tailored for process chemists, chemical engineers, and pharmaceutical engineers. It delves into the critical… Continue reading Crystallization: Mastering Seeded Antisolvent Techniques
Read MoreIn-depth Look into Softgel Formulation, Manufacturing and Troubleshooting
Softgels are widely popular dose forms for liquid that represent the most important oral form for less than 5 milliliters of liquid. Additionally, softgels are vital as a lipid delivery system, enhancing both solubility and permeation of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) by targeting the lipid absorption route. Softgels may appear to be a simple, two-part… Continue reading In-depth Look into Softgel Formulation, Manufacturing and Troubleshooting
Read MorePrecision Tools for Human Error Reduction
Human error is known to be the primary cause of quality and production losses in many industries. Although human error is unlikely to ever be eliminated, many human performance problems can be prevented. Human errors start at the design stage. From procedures, training, and workplace environment, many variables that affect human behavior CAN be managed,… Continue reading Precision Tools for Human Error Reduction
Read MoreSurfactants: 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
Read MoreRheology: 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
