Compressible Sugar Analysis Service | Pharmaceutical Excipient

MtoZ Biolabs offers Compressible Sugar Analysis Service that provides a comprehensive and systematic evaluation of compressible sugar, ranging from composition and physicochemical properties to purity assessment, safety, and formulation performance. These results provide scientific support for excipient quality control, tablet development, and process optimization. With advanced analytical platforms and experienced scientists, we deliver accurate, reproducible, and application-oriented data.

 

Compressible sugar is typically produced through co-crystallization of sucrose with other excipients or specialized processing. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with excellent flowability and compressibility. Due to its role as a diluent, binder, and taste-modifying ingredient, it is widely used in tablets, chewables, lozenges, and instant formulations. Because compressible sugar directly affects hardness, disintegration, and stability, systematic analysis is essential to ensure consistent formulation quality.

Services at MtoZ Biolabs

MtoZ Biolabs provides a full Compressible Sugar Analysis Service from fundamental testing to formulation performance evaluation:

1. Composition and Structural Characterization

Polarimetry and FTIR are used for identification, supported by NMR and XRD to reveal structural attributes and impurity profiles.

 

2. Purity and Impurity Testing

Sugar content is quantified along with chloride, sulfate, and calcium residues. HPLC, GC, and ICP-MS confirm purity and detect potential contaminants.

 

3. Physicochemical Assessment

Parameters such as moisture content (loss on drying) and ash content are determined, evaluating stability during storage and processing.

 

4. Formulation Performance Testing

Flowability, compressibility, tablet hardness, friability, and dissolution rate are systematically measured, directly reflecting functionality in tablet and chewable formulations.

 

5. Safety and Stability Evaluation

Microbial limit tests and accelerated or long-term stability studies are conducted to assess excipient safety and performance under varying conditions.

Sample Submission Suggestions

We accept raw compressible sugar powders, pharmaceutical formulations, and related composites. Submission requirements vary by type; please contact MtoZ Biolabs for detailed guidelines. All samples should be sealed to prevent moisture and contamination. Powder samples are suitable for ambient transport, while composite or sensitive materials may require ambient or refrigerated shipping depending on stability.

 

FAQ

Q1: What Storage Conditions Are Recommended for Compressible Sugar?

A1: Compressible sugar remains stable under normal temperatures and low humidity. It should not be stored with dilute acids, which may cause hydrolysis, or with alkaline earth hydroxides.

 

Q2: How Does Particle Size Distribution Affect Tablet Performance?

A2: Particle size distribution significantly influences fill density, dissolution rate, and disintegration. Systematic particle size analysis provides data for formulation optimization and process stability.
