AAPS Webinar: Rheology Essentials for Pharmaceutical Scientists (Part 2)

Rheology Essentials for Pharmaceutical Scientists is a free two-part webinar hosted by the AAPS Topical and Transdermal Community designed to help pharmaceutical scientists navigate the sometimes confusing world of practical rheology and viscosity measurements.

A follow on from our first webinar with the AAPS (which covered core concepts in the rheological characterisation of topical pharmaceuticals), this second session discusses the practical considerations and approaches for gaining relevant and repeatable viscosity and rheology measurements for topical pharmaceutical drug products. Explaining the value of sophisticated rheological measurements beyond what is capable with simple viscometers. If you missed the first webinar, don’t worry, you can find it here.

The 2nd session covers:

  • Viscometers vs rheometers:
    • Key differences
    • Capabilities and considerations for selection for R&D, Analytical and Quality Control labs
  • Measuring accessories: Cones, plates, cylinders and spindles
  • Starting point testing regimes for topical products
  • Presenting rheological data:
    • Selection of axes, log vs linear scaling
    • Quantifying the relevant features: Plateaus, yields and crossovers
  • What could possibly go wrong?: Experimental artefacts, how to identify and eliminate them.

The webinar will be of value to two groups:

  • Formulators and quality controllers who wish to better characterise their products for formulation development, regulatory submissions and quality control
  • Recipients of rheology data who wish to confidently discuss and interpret results with laboratory analysts, management and regulatory agencies.
