Cryogenic micronization is particle size reduction using an air-jet mill chilled with liquid nitrogen. It is becoming a preferred method for producing finer particle size of compounds with a low brittleness and tacky or semi-solid in nature under ambient conditions.
Catalent Micron Technologies is a leading international provider of particle size reduction and analytical services. We deliver first-class pharmaceutical contract micronization, milling and analytical services combining quality, speed-of-response and industry-leading expertise.
At Catalent Micron Technologies, we’ve worked to develop micronization capabilities for the most challenging particle size requirements and pharmaceutical compounds, such as inhalation grade powders and active ingredients used in softgel capsule suspensions.
Every year, more and more products coming from research & development are classed as potent drugs. Micronizing potent compounds present unique challenges for product containment due to dust creation during manufacturing.
Whether you’re in the early R&D or commercial phase, reliable, accurate particle size analysis is critical to the success of your compound.
