Event Overview:

Microdosing can accelerate the journey of a drug product from early development through to commercialization. This webcast will look at the principles of microdosing and how Lonza goes about filling drug substance directly into a capsule using equipment such as the Xcelodose 600 or 600S, as well as the Harro Höfliger Modu-C Mid Speed Encapsulator. The two systems provide the flexibility to manufacture powder-in-capsule dosages in multiple strengths with rapid and accurate filling parameters.
