Analytical method development

We develop, optimize and validate innovative methods for the characterization of microcapsules and microparticles regarding:

• Strength
• Permeability
• Release behavior

Examples of method development for the analysis of disperse systems are:

• Determination of droplet density and disperse phase content in stable double emulsions
  (Woehlecke, H., et al. (2016). FORMULA VIII Conf., Barcelona: Paper 150.)
  

• Automatic determination of Hansen dispersibility parameters of nanoparticles by instrumental quantification of sedimentation behavior
  (Süß, S., et al. (2018). ADV POWDER TECHNOL 29: 1550-1561.)
  

We have joint research projects with universities, research institutes and industrial partners, for example:

• Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin
  
• Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
  
• Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) Berlin
  
• KIT - Karlsruher Institut für Technologie
  
• Universität Potsdam
• LUM GmbH Berlin
• TransTissue Technologies GmbH
• Joint Research Centre, European Commission, Geel, Belgium
• The University of Melbourne
