Natoli Engineering Opens Natoli Institute for Industrial Pharmacy Research and Development

Natoli Engineering Company announced the opening of the Natoli Institute for Industrial Pharmacy Research and Development. The institute was opened in partnership with the Arnold and Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences on the Brooklyn campus of Long Island University and features suites for dispensing, formulation, compression, and coating.

According to Natoli, the institute was established to further pharmaceutical compression science and support research into the industry’s most complex challenges. The laboratory will provide research opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students to enable them to find innovative solutions to formulation problems through research and implementation. The institute will provide an environment for students to learn industrial pharmacy unit operations for solid oral-dosage forms, with a focus on understanding problems associated with the compression of tablets, the development of formulations for new and existing molecules, and the measurements required to ensure proper delivery of formulations to a tablet press and the control of the press.

The Natoli Institute will also provide an opportunity for Natoli customers to have their tableting problems investigated, such as sticking, picking, tablet disintegration/dissolution, bioavailability, and formulation and feasibility experiments.
