Why attend?

As pharmaceutical products progress from formulation development to commercial manufacturing, maintaining product performance, processability, and quality becomes increasingly critical. Rheology provides a powerful framework for understanding how materials behave under real-world processing conditions, helping teams make informed decisions throughout development, scale-up, technology transfer, and manufacturing.

In this webinar, we will explore how rheological characterization can be used to support pharmaceutical workflows from early formulation development through commercial production. Through practical examples, attendees will learn how rheology can improve communication between R&D, MS&T, manufacturing, and quality teams while reducing scale-up risk and accelerating technology transfer.

We will also discuss how modern rheology workflows and software solutions support data integrity requirements and regulatory compliance, including FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

Learning objectives:

  • Understand how rheology supports decision-making throughout the pharmaceutical product lifecycle
  • Use rheological measurements to optimise formulations and predict manufacturing performance
  • Apply rheological data to support scale-up, technology transfer, and process robustness
  • Improve communication between R&D, MS&T, manufacturing, and quality organisations using rheological data
  • Implement compliant rheology workflows that support data integrity and regulatory requirements
