Granulation is a common process in pharmaceutical manufacturing to convert powder mixtures into agglomerated particles and is usually performed prior to tableting. Twin-screw granulation (TSG) has gained increased interest from the pharmaceutical industry for its potential within the development of oral dosage forms. It is a very flexible technology that can help to process a wide range of processed in a continuous manner. Twin-screw extruders offer excellent process control, can be equipped with high Process Analytical Tools (PAT), and processes can be optimized by using a Quality by Design (QbD) approach. All that leading to a high and stable product quality.
Within this webcast we review the basic concept of TSG, discuss the influence of process parameters on final product quality and give an insight into recent advances in TSG continuous manufacturing.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Review the principles of TSG and granulation mechanisms
- Understand continuous TSG systems, including state of the art systems
- Learn about modeling of TSG
- Understand quality-by-design approaches and process analytical technology for TSG
Who Should Attend:
Formulation scientists and engineers in the pharmaceutical industry Academics who want to learn more about the possibilities to use TSG for wet and melt granulation in R&D and manufacturing.

How has spectroscopy education evolved over the years?
FT-IR spectroscopy, long treated as a mature bench technique for confirming a carbonyl stretch or fingerprinting a polymer, has quietly become one of chemistry’s most versatile discovery engines: it now infers molecular structure straight from a spectrum without a reference library, resolves chemistry tens of nanometers wide, and screens a fingerstick of blood for disease in minutes. The last five years of published research show FT-IR moving from a confirmatory tool into a predictive, autonomous, and field-ready analytical platform.
In this panel discussion, five SpecAcademy instructors examined why spectroscopy expertise has declined and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it through curated, fundamentals-based education suited to increasingly complex analytical work.
A recent roundtable discussion with the SpecAcademy instructors explored why spectroscopy expertise has eroded and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it.
The agreement gives North American customers a stocked, domestic source for InGaAs PIN photodiodes and avalanche photodiodes from the Scottish manufacturer.
The gap between classroom training and industry practice is pushing analysts toward familiar techniques instead of the most appropriate ones.
Panelists from the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, the Coblentz Society, Syensqo, Specac, and the University of Georgia discuss how a mismatch between academic curricula and industry practice leaves many analysts unsure when, and how, to use infrared and Raman spectroscopy.
