CALICUT: A Strong Partnership with Thermo Fisher for Post-Extrusion Calibration and Cutting
CALICUT: A Strong Partnership with Thermo Fisher for Post-Extrusion Calibration and Cutting
CILYX has developed a strong partnership over the past few years with Thermo Fisher Scientific, located in Karlsruhe, Germany, by co-developing a precision micro-cutting solution for pharmaceutical laboratories. The MICROCUT system perfectly integrates with the PHARMA-11 extruder, developed and manufactured by Thermo Fisher.
Thermo Fisher Scientific is a key player in the field of pharmaceutical extrusion, offering advanced solutions for the development of solid formulations. Their expertise includes the use of hot-melt extrusion (HME) technology for drug production, which enhances the solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients and supports the development of innovative dosage forms. The company provides high-precision equipment and technical support services for both research and industrial-scale production applications.
The post-extrusion CaliCut system represents the next generation of instruments for the precise calibration of polymer filaments and their cutting into well-defined implants. Suitable for a variety of polymer formulations and application areas, the CaliCut post-extrusion system is a highly modular instrument that can be adjusted to meet a wide range of product specifications.
Combining the precision cutter with the PHARMA-11 extruder provides a comprehensive solution for the production of pharmaceutical implants during development, preclinical, and clinical phases.
