New: spray drying
Recently, BASF’s Custom Synthesis unit launched spray drying, a technology that can provide a simple solution to several challenges, such as poor bio-availability of otherwise valuable compounds. Thanks to a cooperation with GEA-Niro, our partners can now benefit from the full range of services, from development of new spray drying processes to pilot and commercial spray drying of neat and formulated APIs, from both aqueous and organic solutions.
