NETZSCH Fine Particle Technology, LLC, today released its new white paper, “Nanoparticles in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing.” The paper is available for free download at the grinding.netzschusa.com.

The paper explores the rapidly expanding role and significant performance advantages of nanoparticles in pharmaceutical applications. It provides an overview of nanoparticle uses in applications including diagnostic products, product packaging, and biomarker discovery, as well as an extensive look at nanoparticle use in drug delivery. Most important, the paper describes the ability to create nanoparticles efficiently and economically with media milling.

“Media-mill production of nanoparticles is a cost-effective way for pharmaceutical manufacturers and researchers to incorporate nanotechnology into their products right now, but not everyone understands how to begin,” said Randy Smith, vice president of NETZSCH Fine Particle Technology. “This paper explains the various applications and the basics of nano-production from the lab bench to the production floor, so that researchers and scientists can decide if this technology can help them improve current products or APIs in development.”
