Join us May 27, 2020 (2-3pm) as Mark Lombardi – Technical Support Manager,
Konica Minolta Sensing Americas, Inc gives an in-depth look on how to measure surface appearance using the Rhopoint IQ-S.

Where standard gloss meters only measure gloss, the Rhopoint IQ-S is an effective solution for detection and measurement of all surface
imperfections.

The Rhopoint IQ-S provides key measurement of not only Gloss but also Reflectance Haze, Distinctness of Image, Reflected Image Quality, and
Goniophotometric Profile. Additionally IQ-S gloss measurement performance isone of the top in this class. It is designed and built with close tolerance.The instrument provides gloss data of 3 angles 20/60/85°.

At this webinar, you will learn:

• Why the 60 degree angle is standard angle to use to determine when
  to use 20 or 85 degree for your samples
• How samples with the same color and gloss can still have a different
  appearance
• How RIQ can improve your process
• Why the logHaze function will allow some users to keep using current
  data/specifications

Please let us know if you have any additional applications you wish to
discuss or if you have questions:

About Our Seminars

Join Konica Minolta Sensing for a seminar on the evaluation and control of product color.

Color & Appearance seminars cover the fundamentals of color science and the elements to an effective color process within research and manufacturing environments. These educational seminars are attended by industry professionals with job functions in controlling the color quality, consistency, and appearance of their products or samples. Hosted by a Konica Minolta Sensing color expert, each attendee will leave with a solid understanding of color and the components required for evaluating, communicating, and controlling color internally or throughout the supply chain to meet standards and organizational goals more efficiently.

At the end of the seminar, attendees are encouraged to interact with our experts for technical advice, tips, color and appearance assessments, and networking to stay connected after the event. If interested in having our expert assess the color and appearance of your product or application, please bring in a sample to the seminar.

Pharma Technical Seminar

September 23-24, 2019 Exton Pa

In the “Micronization and Nanonization of Pharmaceutical Substances” seminar, the essential operating parameters of agitator beads mills will be discussed and presented in a logical context. Possible solutions for process optimization will be shown. The process will be considered holistically from cleaning and sterilization to predispersion and micronization, through packaging. How a process developed on a laboratory scale can be transposed to an actual production scale will be discussed.

Topics of Discussion

• Characterizing the significance of comminuition
• Terms and Definitions
• Overview of mixing, wetting, and dispersing processes
• Overview of NETZSCH grinding systems; agitator bead mills
• Effect of different process parameters
• Model of the load energy and number of impacts
• Effect of the dwell time distribution
• Griding media selection and scale-up
• Calculation from laboratory to production scale
• Limitations of wet grinding
• True comminution and gentle dispersion
• Summary and Discussion

During most process application discussions, I am asked for “rules of thumb” related to disperser / dissolver application. This Morehouse Cowles presentation offers many of the practical tips to consider when specifying a wetting application.

Topic:  “Formulating Liposomes and Importance of Vesicle Size Control”

Speaker:Yvonne Perrie – Professor, Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy & Biomedical Sciences, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow

Abstract: Liposomes are amongst the most established particulate-based drug delivery systems and they can be used to deliver a wide range of drugs, genes and vaccines.  Through appropriate selection of lipids and preparation methods, liposomes can be tailored to accommodate a variety of drugs, and can be optimised in a range of characteristics including: size, charge, bilayer rigidity, surface characteristics, drug retention and controlled drug release.  The parenteral route is the most commonly adopted in clinical use.  Intravenously injected liposomes interact with blood opsonins and are removal from the blood circulation by the mononuclear phagocyte system, mostly by fixed macrophages in the liver and spleen.  This rate of clearance is dependent on vesicle size, lipid composition and surface charge.  When administered via the intramuscular or subcutaneous routes, liposomes tend to enter the lymphatic system including the lymph nodes draining the injected site.  This may be advantageous in vaccine design.  However again, one of the key factors controlling the fate of liposomes administered via this route is their vesicle size.   Via this Webinar we will investigate the impact of liposome size and formulation on their biodistribution and discuss the importance of vesicle size control in liposome formulation and manufacture.
