Determination of the Particle Size Distribution for Procaine
10 Mar 2014Procaine is a local anaesthetic - an ester type - which is used very seldom today as a local anaesthetic, since much more effective and more deeply penetrating substances, where allergic reactions are less occurring. However, procaine is still used in the neural therapy, a type of treatment from the areas of alternative or animal medicine. This application note determines procaine particle size distribution, measured using the ANALYSETTE 22 Compact with a small volume dispersion unit.

It is useful for optimizing economical and efficient drug production. Process chemistry uses reactors and pump systems as well as reagents, standards and buffers.Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.

Drug delivery is often approached via the biopharmaceutical or small molecule drug's formulation, but it may also involve medical devices or drug-device combination products. Considerations include instrumentation, software and services. RegulatoryPharmaceutical regulations impact on all areas of drug development, manufacture and control and supply. Services are provided from the early stages of drug development and clinical trials through to dossier submission, approval and marketing. Regulatory also includes submission of analytical studies from the pharmaceutical product and safety.
