Pharmaceutical pelletBrief definition: Drug loaded pellets can be classified by their method of release into sustained-release, controlled-release pellets. The matrix of the drug pellet is Celphere.Celphere are drug-free starter cores which are coated by a suspension or a solution of Active Ingredients. We are the first one and only one whoacquired the "Official Production License" in China.As critical pharmaceutical adjuvant for controlled or sustained release drug delivery technologies, Celpherecan be used as cores for the manufacture of sustained & controlled-release pellets for both western and Chinese traditional medicines.Celphere are inert pellets composed by sucrose and starch, which offer an excellent quality: a homogeneous population ofCelphere with a high sphericity. We are the first one and only one who get the "Official Production License" forCelphere in China. The main advantage of using Celphereis to produce pellets with a uniformity of drug content in the final dosage form (capsules).Characteristics: l Appearance: White or kind of white near circular pellets. l Density: Can be adjusted as per the product’s characteristics l Standard: Conform to USP/NF Chemical specificationsLoss on drying< 4.00 %Sulphated ash £ 0.20 %Heavy metals £ 5 ppmStarch content < 92 %Specific rotation < +61°O.V.I.
