SUMMARY:iFormulate4Nano
DESCRIPTION:How do you formulate nanoparticles into products? \n18th June 2013\, Manchester\, UK \nOne-day training course held in partnership with\, and immediately before\, the international conference NanoFormulation 2013 \nNote: This event has now taken place. Please contact info@iformulate.biz if you are interested in future training on this topic. \n \nWhy Attend iFormulate4Nano? \n\nWould you like to demystify formulation with nanoparticles?\nDo you want to know how to overcome stability challenges in nanoformulated products?\nDo you want to understand the best ways to characterize nanoformulations?\nDo you want to keep up to date with the latest safety and regulatory challenges associated with nanomaterials?\n\n  \nIf so then iFormulate4Nano is the course for you. \nThe development of usable and optimal formulations is essential to ensure that nanoparticulates perform in the end application. Nanoparticles present particular challenges to the formulator in the areas of stability\, characterisation and performance. This course is for the practical industrial scientist with an interest in nanoparticles and will enable him or her to formulate them more effectively. \nWho Should Attend? \nFormulate4Nano is suitable for industrial or academic scientists of graduate level and above from disciplines such as chemistry\, chemical engineering\, physics\, materials science and pharmacy with an interest and involvement in nanotechnology but who have had relatively little exposure to formulation science and technology. \nCourse Content \nThe programme for iFormulate4Nano is shown belowThe course will start with an introduction to the basics of nanoparticles\, how they are defined\, why they are different\, how they are made and where they are used. Following this there will be a session on stabilising nanodispersions and nanoemulsions which will include an insight into stabilisation theories and how to apply them. The course will include a workshop session where attendees will be able to work together on case studies. The next session will cover the main characterisation and measurement techniques which are essential tools for the development scientist. The course concludes with an overview of the essential toxicology\, safety and regulatory factors which the product developer needs to take into account. Attendees will receive copies of all course materials in electronic format. \nLocation and Date \nWe are delighted to present iFormulate4Nano in partnership with the organisers of the prestigious international conference NanoFormulation 2013. This also takes place in Manchester and will start immediately following this course. The location for iFormulate4Nano is the brand new James Chadwick Building\, the home of the Chemical Engineering department of the University of Manchester and we are pleased to acknowledge the support of the University in providing this venue. \nCourse Fees\, Registration and Discounts. \nNote: This event has now taken place. Please contact info@iformulate.biz if you are interested in future training on this topic. \nPlease note that places are strictly limited so early registration is advisable. Standard fees to attend iFormulate4Nano are £295 (+VAT) per attendee. A further discount of £20 is applicable to those who attend both NanoFormulation 2013 and iFormulate4Nano. \nYou can pay via invoice\, BACS transfer\, or via PayPal. \nProgramme – iFormulate4Nano 18th June 2013 \n9.15 Registration and Coffee \n9.45 Introduction – Dr Jim Bullock (iFormulate) \n10.00 Nanoparticles – The Basics.

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.
