High Resolution Surface Characterisation and Stability Measurements
Nanopharm has developed an approach for the detection, characterisation and quantification of the mechanically induced surface disorder of pharmaceutical materials. Conventional AFM imaging and an auxiliary mode, phase imaging, provides unprecedented spatial resolution of the surface characteristics of pharmaceutical materials at the sub-nanometre scale.

The approach can be utilised for:
  • Screening APIs for variations in degree of mechanically induced surface disorder
  • Determine the surface stability of mechanically activated APIs under accelerated and controlled environmental conditions
  • Conditioning requirements for re-crystallisation of surface amorphous content
  • The effect of storage conditions and ageing on the surface relaxation of pharmaceutical materials
