SUMMARY:Solid State Stability of Formulations – The Underlying Science and New Approaches for Rapid Determination
DESCRIPTION:Note: This event has now taken place. Please contact info@iformulate.biz if you are interested in future training on this topic. \nUnique One Day Training Course. \nNottingham/East Midlands\, UK – May 8th 2013 \nThis information is also available to download as a flyer in PDF format. \n\nIs predicting the stability of solid formulations an ongoing challenge for you?\nHave you ever thought that there must be a better and quicker way of assessing stability?\nAre you looking to optimise the packaging of your powder/tablet/granule?\nHave failures in stability delayed product introductions or made product development more costly?\n\n  \nIf any of the above applies to you\, then a unique one day training course organised by iFormulate Ltd together with FreeThink Technologies\, Inc. on May 8th is for you. Course tutors will include Dr Ken Waterman of FreeThink\, who is the originator of (and the world’s leading expert in) the ASAP (Accelerated Stability Assessment Program) methodology for solid formulations. Formulators from industries such as pharmaceuticals\, agrochemicals\, detergents\, coatings and foods will find “Solid State Stability of Formulations” valuable and relevant. The course is designed to be of value to all formulators of solid state formulations; suppliers into these applications; test and development laboratories and those supplying analytical support to these industries amongst others. Solid State Stability of Formulations covers the following topics: \n\nWhat are Solid State Formulations?\nStability Requirements in Different Applications\nStability and Instability\nTheories and Mechanisms for Traditional Stability Assessment – Pros and Cons\nThe Challenges and Opportunities of Accelerated Stability\nThe ASAP Approach\nCase Studies and ASAPprime® Software\n\n  \n  \nRegistration \nNote: This event has now taken place. Please contact info@iformulate.biz if you are interested in future training on this topic. \nCourse fees are £395 + VAT per person. Cancellations received after March 31st may be subject to a cancellation fee but registrations may be transferred to another individual at any stage. \nTo register\, please e-mail info@iformulate.biz with “Stability Course” in the title and provide full contact details (e-mail\, phone\, organisation name\, postal address). We will then contact you regarding course details and payment. Payment can be via purchase order and invoice\, BACS transfer or via PayPal using your credit or debit card (no account needed). For the PayPal option\, the total amount includes VAT and administration fees. You will be sent a full itemised receipt after payment. \n  \nA Word About ASAP \nASAP takes into account temperature and relative humidity conditions to predict chemical stability in solids.  In pharmaceuticals\, this process has been found to accurately determine shelf-life (expiry) for drug products and substances. In addition the shelf-life inside packaging can be calculated. In fact\, the use of the ASAP methods with only 2-3 weeks of testing has enabled better predictions of shelf-life than even long-term (6-12 month) standard testing.  ASAP has been used in a number of different ways to not only scientifically determine the acceptability of formulations\, processes\, packaging and specifications\, it has also been successfully employed in a number of regulatory filings. \nThe course will demonstrate how ASAP has been used in pharmaceutical applications\, but will also discuss its applicability for other solid-state formulations. \nImages:Stuart Miles and mrpuen at FreeDigitalPhotos.net.

SUMMARY:Webinar Recording: iFormulate Introduces Fluid Bed Processing
DESCRIPTION:Image courtesy of Neuhaus Neotec  \nFluid bed technology has a wide variety of uses in formulation and chemical processing in general. For instance fluid beds can be used to agglomerate drying particles to give you granules with optimal flow\, compression or redispersion properties. If you are looking to encapsulate a substance then particle coating can be carried out in a fluid bed dryer. Fluid bed is a versatile technology that can be used for many applications in – for example – pharmaceuticals\, agrochemicals\, food\, inorganics and detergents. If you’d like a concise overview of how fluid bed processing works why not take a look at the recording of our webinar “iFormulate introduces Fluid Bed Processing”. In the webinar\, we’ll be joined once again by Professor David York of the University of Leeds. \nTo view the webinar recording and download the slides\, please go to the recording page here. \nFor those of you who’d appreciate a more in-depth introduction then we’re delighted to announce a new three-day course delivered by the University of Leeds and supported by iFormulate. Registration is now open here and the course will run from 15th-17th May 2019.

SUMMARY:Formula X 2019
DESCRIPTION:iFormulate is pleased to be supporting Formula X\, the latest in the Formula series of international formulation conferences to be held in Manchester in June 2019. \nFormula X will continue the tradition of bringing together the best industrial and academic science and engineering which are accelerating the application of formulation across Europe. \nThe conference theme of “Understand\, Formulate\, Innovate” highlights the direction of travel for the formulating industries where more research and development is now aimed at developing the understanding before formulation occurs\, which is driving new types of innovation.  While traditional formulation science research is still important it is now being applied to more and more complex formulations\, and even for the most complex formulation digital techniques are being used to limit the formulation space that needs to be explored.  Formula X will once again cover a broad range of formulating industries and the domain specific understanding which is key to successful formulation will be continue to a focus\, the session chairs will also be tasked with highlighting cross-domain learning. \nFormula X will commence at 2pm on Monday 24th June and formally end with lunch at 2pm on Thursday 27th. \nThe organising committee are looking forward to welcoming you to Manchester in June. \nClick here to Register for Formula X \nIn collaboration with the organisers of Formula X\, iFormulate is running a FREE 2-hour interactive workshop “Design for Formulation” on 25th June. The workshop will introduce some of the principles of good formulation design and tell you how you can practically get started. Click here for more details of the workshop and to register. Note that registration is separate from Formula X. \n

SUMMARY:Biopesticide Summit 2019
DESCRIPTION:The world of plant protection is changing rapidly with many interesting new approaches entering the market. For this reason Bionema Limited and Swansea University are to host the inaugural Biopesticide Summit in July 2019. The organisers expect to address the pressing need to develop alternatives to chemical crop protection.\nThe Summit will also include the Biopesticide Awards which celebrate the achievement\, excellence\, and the contribution industry and research communities make to the biocontrol community. \nThe Biopesticide Summit 2019 will focus on developing and introducing innovative and alternative biocontrol solutions that will help protect our food chain in a controlled but timely manner. \nThe global biopesticides market is growing rapidly. It was worth approximately $3.36 billion in 2016 and is projected to reach $8.82 billion by 2022. However\, despite significant growth in the biocontrol industry\, major limitations with current biopesticide solutions are rarely discussed. There is an urgent need to develop novel products and application technologies to not only “fill the gaps” in the market due to pesticide removal but also to anticipate future requirements as pests and diseases are developing resistance to currently used chemical products.  In additional\, there is increasing consumer led retailer demand for growers to eradicate the use of chemical pesticides in crop production and to grow fruit and vegetables with reduced detectable residues. \nOne challenge particularly dear to our hearts at iFormulate is that of formulating biopesticides effectively. At the Summit\, iFormulate’s Dr David Calvert will discuss the increasing need to improve biopesticide performance through formulation science and technology. Formulation can bring benefits in terms of delivery mechanism\, release profile and stability amongst other key properties. In his presentation\, David will discuss will review the differences between biopesticides and conventional pesticide active ingredients and outline how these can lead to differing formulation strategies. He will also outline how formulation technology can be used to resolve some of the stability issues concerning the common microbial biopesticide\, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) \nYou can find registration and other details on the Biopesticide Summit here. \n
