SUGAR SPHERES
Due to the unique manufacturing process the pharm-a-spheresTM sugar spheres have the advantage of high sphericity and high mechanical strength in comparison to similar products. The pharm-a-spheresTM sugar spheres are conform to international pharmacopoeias as the Ph.Eur. and the USP/NF.
According to the monographs they are made of the indifferent and natural ingredients sucrose and corn (maize) starch. An FDA drug master file (DMF) is available.
Production and testing are carried-out at a high level in conformance to an ISO 9001 quality management system and to the IPEC (International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council) GMP guide.
A sophisticated combination of technological capabilities and analytical skills allows us to fulfill every specification of particle size. The pharm-a-spheresTM sugar spheres are available in the full range from 100 to 500 micrometers (microspheres) and from 0.5 to 2 millimeters (standard spheres).
A large in-house laboratory, specialized in sugar spheres, guarantees conformity to standards and provides certificates of analysis as well as special data about characteristics required.
More than three decades of experience with the manufacturing of sugar spheres are the basis of a broad knowledge for our customer's sake. Numerous publications illustrate this.
