Emerson Resources’ core competencies relative to delivery system
development are: Oral solids, non-sterile liquids and topicals. We approach delivery
system development using SCIENCE. Our development programs are build around the philosophy
that delivery system / formulation development is not an art, not magic and should not be
approached using a ‘dart board’ method.
We used the I.D.E.A.S.® approach to formulation development:
|
Investigate: |
Gather the data to develop a SMART hypothesis |
| Design: |
Design experimentation to generate variable relationships |
| Experiment: |
Execute the experimentation |
| Analyze: |
Data evaluation |
| Solve: |
Confirmation and optimization |
