Thanks to image analysis-based particle characterization, particle shape is now joining size as a key parameter in the pharmaceutical production process.

Particle characterization is critically important throughout the pharmaceutical industry, from protein size and conformation analysis at the discovery stage, right through to on-line analysis during manufacture. Driven by the constant need for efficiency, profitability, and safety, the industry and its regulatory bodies continue to require increasingly sensitive and precise information. As a result, there is a growing demand for techniques that extend particle characterization beyond the traditional measurement of size alone.
