  • Publication number: 20230111202
    Abstract: A method of producing a particle coating on one or more items is provided. The method comprises mixing supercritical carbon dioxide with a solution comprising dissolved material for forming particles. The method further comprises spraying the mixture into a precipitation chamber (316) to precipitate particles, wherein the chamber is at a pressure below a supercritical pressure of the supercritical fluid. The method also comprises capturing the precipitated particles on one or more items located within the chamber.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20160228373
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a scalable and solvent-free method to produce cocrystals in a particulate form. A method of making cocrystals comprises the steps of: a) feeding a molten mixture of at least a first substance and a second substance which are able to form cocrystals to an atomizer; b) atomizing the molten mixture to droplets; c) solidifying the droplets to particles; d) collecting the said particles. The invention also provides the use of cocrystals made according to the method of the invention in the formulation of a pharmaceutical composition. The invention also provides cocrystals obtainable or obtained by the method of the present invention, in particular cocrystals in the form of particles. Also provided is a pharmaceutical composition comprising cocrystals made according to the method of the invention, in particular, a pharmaceutical composition comprising cocrystals in the form of particles made according to the method of the invention.
