Advancing Dry Powder Inhalers: A Complete Workflow for Carrier‑Based Formulation Development

This peer-reviewed article showcases how our latest jet‑milling research strengthens the way we design and scale inhalation formulations. It highlights how jet‑milling optimization connects directly with formulation design, blending strategies, and scale‑up within a strong QbD framework. It underscores why jet milling is so critical: the study shows how controlling particle‑size distribution and preserving solid‑state integrity directly improves aerosol performance. The article also illustrates the value of an integrated workflow, mirroring the end‑to‑end capabilities we offer across our inhalation programs, from particle engineering through final blend scale‑up.

Scale-up Considerations for Dry Powder Inhaler Manufacturing by Spray Drying

Spray drying is a versatile particle-engineering tool used to produce respirable dry powders of small molecule APIs and biologics. Production of very small particle sizes (1-5µm) is required for delivery to the deep lung, but also leads to significant challenges in scaling the process from lab-scale dryers to clinical or commercial scale dryers. This webinar addresses the scale-up challenges facing pulmonary dry powders produced by spray drying.
