FAQs: Custom Mesoporous Silica Development

Can you evaluate API-loading feasibility before we've selected an MSN platform?

Yes. We can start with the catalog variants most suitable for your API and application, then further customize as needed.

Can you modify an existing MSN formulation to improve performance?

Yes. We can optimize particle size, pore structure, surface chemistry, and/or processing conditions to improve API loading, release, stability, and reproducibility.

What information helps define a MSN feasibility study?

Helpful information includes your API properties, target loading and release performance, and any formulation requirements. Preliminary data is useful but not required.

What analytical characterization and deliverables can be included?

Characterization methods will be selected based on your application's requirements and may include:

  • Particle Characterization: Size, morphology, pore structure, and surface chemistry (TEM, DLS, BET, zeta potential, FTIR).

  • Formulation Performance: API loading, recovery, release, and stability (HPLC, UV-Vis, fluorescence).

  • Deliverables: A technical report summarizing results, key findings, and recommended next steps.

Can you work from a customer-developed MSN synthesis or loading process?

Yes. We can build on your existing protocols to optimize processing, improve reproducibility, support scale-up, or facilitate technology transfer. Development activities are tailored to your process and project goals.
