Formulation employees play a critical role in developing and manufacturing the next generation of innovative oral products for pre-clinical and clinical trials, thereby paving the way for the future manufacturing of these products. 

Formulation technicians are responsible for the practical work performed in the lab, including the use of equipment for producing and analysing oral tablets. They are experts in the handling of equipment, such as tablet presses, roller compactors, blending equipment but also smaller equipment used to characterise tablets and granules. 

Formulation scientists are responsible for developing the final drug product and manufacturing process for solid dosage forms for clinical and pre-clinical trials. A formulation scientist leads the design and development of formulations and processes, scaling up for manufacturing of batches for clinical and pre-clinical trials, preparation of product development reports and support for all necessary quality documentation and documentation for regulatory submissions. 

Our analytical research employees are responsible for development and validation of analytical methods for tablet process development and batch release. They are also responsible for solid state characterisation including particle characterisation and stability studies.

Analytical technicians are experts in the use of chromatographic equipment, such as HPLCs and UPLCs. An analytical technician conducts the analysis of experimental results and - together with the analytical scientists - determines which methods are best for each specific experiment. 

Analytical scientists are responsible for developing analytical methods, such as spectroscopy-based methods, chromatographic methods or dissolution methods amongst others. Analytical scientists work in close collaboration with the formulation employees and are responsible for choosing the right analytical methods and providing them with the right data and analysis to support decision making.
