Xcelodose® S - A New Powder Micro-dosing System for Even Faster Time to First in Man.
With more than 50 Xcelodose systems installed at pharmaceutical, biotech and CRO companies worldwide, capsule micro-filling has become an established technology for early stage clinical trials. That’s because this unique technology allows companies to fill capsules with drug substances alone, thereby eliminating the need for excipient compatibility and preformulation activities. By implementing the Xcelodose system, pharmaceutical companies benefit from a shorter drug development process by reducing the need for costly and time-consuming stability studies. This in turn reduces the time taken to reach the ‘First in Man’ clinical trial decision point, which allows an increase in throughput of candidate compounds for development.
