Encapsulation Process Applications: Pharmaceuticals
Micro/Nano Encapsulation
Left: Non-encapsulated, Right: Encapsulated.
The use of microencapsulation technology provides increased
retention of the active ingredient at the site of tumor
injection resulting in reduced exposure to healthy tissue.
A broad spectrum of services is offered to the pharmaceutical industry by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), including:
- Microencapsulation process and formulation development
