Formulation & Development

vBC does formulation and development of products in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and veterinary fields. This process is normally divided into four phases. Phase 1 starts with a marketing brief by the client, followed by a review of all relevant scientific literature, in order to determine the right actives and dosages to be used. Once the client is satisfied with the proposed formula Phase 2 starts and includes lab trials and considers different dosage forms and organoleptic issues such as taste, smell, etc. In Phase 3, a pilot batch is produced and placed on stability. In Phase 4 we look at scale-up and tech transfer to the client at his own facility.

Consultation

This normally relates to aspects relating to formulation, development, testing of the product, quality issues, basic registration issues, management advice and method development and validation.
