In the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries, achieving the desired particle size, solubility, and stability for active ingredients is crucial for product efficacy. However, transitioning from lab-scale testing to full-scale production without compromising quality can be challenging. Additionally, issues like excipient compatibility, moisture sensitivity, and achieving uniform particle morphology can significantly impact product performance.


Schedio’s Spray Drying CRO Services provide a comprehensive approach to overcome these hurdles. With our spray drying technology and expertise, we support customers in optimizing formulations from small-scale testing to full-scale industrialization.

Excipient Pre-formulation and Compatibility Tests


  • To ensure stability and performance, we evaluate the suitability and compatibility of excipients in various formulations. This crucial step helps in identifying optimal excipients that enhance active ingredient stability and bioavailability.

Lab Scale Spray Drying Tests


  • Our lab-scale testing is designed to develop new formulations using state-of-the-art equipment in controlled environments.
  • Customers receive a tailored plan based on project goals and have the opportunity to actively participate in real-time decision-making during processing days.
  • A detailed report outlining all test results and recommendations is provided at the project’s conclusion.

Pilot Scale Spray Drying Tests


  • For formulations that show promise at the lab scale, we conduct pilot-scale testing to refine and optimize the process parameters.
  • This stage helps simulate production conditions, allowing us to identify potential challenges early and ensure a smooth transition to full-scale production.

Microencapsulation Services


  • Multiple microencapsulation techniques are available, tailored to each project's technological requirements.
  • These solutions help in protecting sensitive ingredients, controlling release profiles, and enhancing the bioavailability of active components.

Scale-Up and Industrialization Support


  • Scale-up is often the most challenging phase for many formulations, where small deviations can significantly impact product quality.
  • Schedio provides dedicated equipment, such as spray drying units with an evaporative capacity of 8 kg/h, equipped with two-fluid nozzles or rotary ones, to simulate industrial-scale conditions.
  • Beyond scale-up, our team offers end-to-end support for full-scale production, ensuring that the developed product is ready for market introduction.

Our commitment to excellence guarantees that each step, from initial formulation and testing to full-scale production, is meticulously managed, helping you transform your innovative concepts into successful commercial products.
