1st Pharmaceutical Solid State Development Workshop

9th November 2011, 9h -18h
Polymorphs, Salts & Co-crystals
Crystallization & Characterization

In this problem-oriented workshop, Crysforma’s researchers put their expertise to the benefit of industry: discussion of practical cases, in-depth analysis of results from several characterization techniques and a guided tour of ICIQ’s instrumentation facilities will give you a useful insight into pharmaceutical solid state development.

The workshop will cover:

  • Solid state development and its importance in the pharmaceutical industry
  • Polymorphism: definitions and examples, obtention of polymorphs
  • Salts and co-crystals: Strategy, counterion and co-crystal former selection
  • Crystallization: nucleation, solubility curves, thermodynamic vs kinetic crystallization
  • Solid state characterization:
  • X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, spectroscopy and other techniques.
  • Polymorph quantification and limit of detection
  • Amorphous material quantification
  • Crystallization screening: objectives and procedure according to its type (polymorph, salt and co-crystal)
