Pharmaceutical Preformulation Co-Crystal Selection Services (Crystal Engineering Services)

Crystals are perhaps the most used solid-state form in pharmaceuticals. Understanding and engineering pharmaceutical crystals with desirable properties is an important aspect of drug development and manufacturing. The study of crystals has greatly expanded over the past decades with results being seen from the engineering and screening of new polymorphs to the design and development of multicomponent crystals including co-crystals and salts. These efforts have resulted in improved physiochemical properties such as solubility, stability, hygroscopicity, and mechanical properties. These advances in pharmaceutical crystal development are beneficial for advancing the industry’s understanding of both crystal engineering and crystallization process engineering.
