Powder blend segregation testing apparatus and related methods

Abstract

A powder blend segregation testing apparatus and methods for segregation testing of powder blends, requiring a small sample size, are presented for determination of segregation potential of powder blends under stressed dynamic conditions, offering an invaluable tool to the formulation scientists in the pharmaceutical, food, personal care industries, and any other industry which uses powders, to be able to determine, at formulation development stage, which of their powder blend formulations would resist segregation under stressed dynamic conditions of subsequent commercial scale manufacturing operations, thus meeting the goal of “Quality by Design” approach for manufacturing.
