Xcelience adds dry granulation tech to ease scale-up

Xcelience is shortening scale-up time from development to GMP production of clinical trial materials through the installation of dry granulation technology.

Installation of a Vector TFC-220 Roller Compactor in the good manufacturing practice (GMP) production area of the Xcelience site expands its solid oral dose development and manufacturing capabilities.

Furthermore, Xcelience already uses a Vector TFC-Lab Micro Roller Compactor in its experimental area, simplifying the scale-up process. The TFC-220 can process blends at up 20 20kg per hour.

Taking a cross-functional approach to dry granulation ensures effective technical transfer and supports improved manufacturing outcomes”, said Ted Koontz, director of operations at Xcelience.
