The Thermo Scientific™ Pharma mini HME is a GMP compliant, conical micro compounder for Hot Melt Extrusion used in research and development for the pharmaceutical industry. When developing new drugs, shortening time-to-market, reducing waste of expensive API's, and minimizing overall development costs provide a distinct competitive advantage. This is why quick assessments of new API/excipient formulations early in the development process is critical. Hot melt extrusion and continuous processing can lead to faster formulation development and cost efficient production. The Pharma mini HME micro compounder allows users to screen for the right drug candidates using as little as three grams of material for compounding in a hot melt extrusion process
