Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns the formulation IP?
For fully funded development projects, the formulation and associated data are transferred to the client as agreed in the development contract.
Can you develop nutraceutical products too?
Yes. We develop tablets, capsules, powders, gummies, effervescent formats and liquids for nutraceutical and wellness brands.
Do you support stability studies for export markets?
Yes. We plan stability protocols for the ICH climatic zones relevant to your target markets, including Zone IVb.
How long does formulation development take?
Timelines vary by complexity. A simple generic formulation can take a few months to reach scale up, while modified release or novel formats take longer due to additional optimisation and stability work.
Can you reverse engineer a reference product?
Yes. We characterise the reference product and develop an equivalent formulation, supported by comparative dissolution and analytical data.
