IMA Active at the 5th European Conference on Pharmaceutics • 24th – 25th March 2025, Porto
IMA Active is pleased to announce its participation in the 5th European Conference on Pharmaceutics, taking place in Porto, Portugal, on March 24-25, 2025. This prestigious event will focus on “Innovative Dosage Forms and Advanced Technologies for Modern Therapeutics,” bringing together leading scientists, researchers, and industry professionals from around the globe to exchange ideas and explore cutting-edge advancements in the field.
IMA Active will contribute to the conference with a poster presentation that highlights its innovative approach to taste masking for pharmaceutical applications. On March 24th at 9:00 AM, Caterina Funaro, Competence Center Manager at IMA Active, will present the poster titled “Taste Masking Coating of Multi-Particulate Systems in a Small Footprint Equipment.”
This study showcases the capabilities of the Perfima Edge coating technology for multi-particulate systems, particularly in achieving efficient taste masking on small substrates like pellets and minitablets. The Perfima Edge integrates a wedge wire screen drum with side-vented pan coating, providing a compact solution with a 30% smaller footprint, higher spray rates, and reduced processing times compared to traditional fluid bed systems.
The 5th European Conference on Pharmaceutics will feature plenary lectures, invited talks, short presentations, and poster sessions, providing an exceptional platform for networking and learning about the latest trends in pharmaceutics. An industrial exhibition will accompany the event, offering participants an opportunity to explore innovations in pharmaceutical ingredients, analytical technologies, equipment, and more.
We look forward to connecting with the main players in the pharmaceutical market and sharing our advancements in coating technology. See you in Porto!
