TURBISCAN: The fast track to pharmaceutical stability 50
5 NOVEMBERMARCH 2023 - VOLUME 48 ISSUE 2 5 50 7
In pharmaceuticals, physical stability is more than a quality parameter - it’s a safeguard for patient safety and product effi cacy. From vaccines and injectables to inhalers and therapeutic proteins, even microscopic changes in particle behaviour can compromise dosage accuracy, bioavailability, and regulatory compliance.
HOW TURBISCAN IS TRANSFORMING FORMULATION SCIENCE
ENSURING PHYSICAL STABILITY IN PHARMACEUTICALS
KEY BENEFITS SPEED
Detect instability in hours, not days or weeks.
I APPLICATIONS VACCINE
ADJUVANT SELECTION
PARENTERAL NUTRITION STABILITY
ACCURACY Test native,
undiluted samples for true stability.

VERSATILITY Suitable for all
dispersions, suspensions, emulsions, foams, nanoparticles.
TURBISCAN brings unmatched speed and precision to stability testing. Using Static Multiple Light Scattering (SMLS), it detects and quantifi es all forms of destabilisation - sedimentation, creaming, fl occulation, coalescence - up to 1,000 times faster than visual inspection. Native, undisturbed samples are measured objectively, delivering real-world stability data without dilution.
