Viscosity Analysis

Inquiry

The viscosity of a pharmaceutical is an important pharmaceutics parameter. CD Formulation has advanced viscosity analysis equipment and technical teams that can provide a wide range of testing options and analysis conditions for various pharmaceutical dosage forms to ensure that your products meet relevant standards and quality requirements. We also provide detailed data reports to help you fully understand the viscosity characteristics of your products and provide a reference for further optimizing product formulas and processes.

Why is a Pharmaceutical Viscosity Analysis Needed?

Viscosity, a property of liquid, refers to the resistance of liquid to flow under the action of external force, and is usually used to describe the viscosity of liquid. The value of viscosity depends on the type of fluid and its temperature, with higher viscosity meaning the fluid is more difficult to flow, while lower viscosity means the fluid is easier to flow.

Pharmaceutical viscosity is mainly affected by factors such as drug ingredients, concentration, temperature, etc. Different drugs will have different viscosities under different environmental conditions. The viscosity of the drug can usually be determined by measuring the flow speed and resistance of the fluid. For some preparations, the viscosity of the excipient solution affects the molding, while the viscosity of the finished product will affect its absorption rate in the body, thereby affecting the efficacy. In addition, the viscosity of drugs also affects the stability of drugs. High-viscosity drugs are more likely to precipitate and separate out during storage and transportation, thus affecting the quality of drugs. Therefore, strict control is required during the drug development and production process to ensure that the quality of drugs meets standard requirements.

Explore Our Viscosity Analysis Services

As experts in the development of innovative drug delivery systems and a global leader in CMC analysis, we provide unparalleled viscosity analysis services to our clients around the world for drug development, ensuring their drugs meet all quality standards before approval by stringent regulatory agencies.

We use advanced instrumentation and the latest analytical technology, including dynamic mechanical analyzers and viscometers, to conduct viscosity testing and analysis. Comprehensive viscosity data and reports can be provided to customers to help them understand the rheological properties of drug delivery systems and the quality of pharmaceutical products.

We use the following two different methods for viscosity measurement:

  • Dynamic shear viscosity: involves viscosity values measured at different shear rates and is used to understand how a pharmaceutical product behaves under different flow conditions.
  • Kinematic viscosity (also known as momentum diffusivity or flow time): involves measuring the viscosity of a fluid drug under the influence of gravity.
