Workshop 264 – Tablet Coating
May 20 @ 12:00 - May 21 @ 16:30 CEST
1.250,00€Background
Increasing international competition is driving companies to optimize their manufacturing and R&D processes. This is especially true for the production of oral solid dose forms, where high standards of quality and efficiency are crucial – particularly during the critical tablet coating stage.
Despite these demands, opportunities for comprehensive theoretical and practical training are scarce. We aim to bridge this gap by leveraging our decades of experience in manufacturing and operating production equipment. What sets our specialized training apart?
OUR UNIQUE HANDS-ON APPROACH.
Who should attend?
Operating and research personnel employed in the pharmaceutical and other related industries, where compliance to GMP standards, accuracy and reproducibility are absolutely essential.
