Microsize Announces a Strategic Investment into The Solubility Company to Accelerate the US Expansion of a Novel

Microsize announced the strategic investment and partnership with Helsinki-based The Solubility Company. Microsize’s investment accelerates plans for The Solubility Company to open a US-based solubility lab which will be located in Microsize’s facility in Quakertown PA. North American-based pharmaceutical companies will have direct access to the revolutionary AI-enabled Single Particle Analysis (SPA) technology to accurately measure solubility and dissolution rate with sample quantities as low as 1-2 milligrams. The proprietary SPA™ technology allows for fast, reliable, and continuous measurements of the dissolution process directly from powder samples using machine vision and advanced AI providing accurate solubility measurements much earlier in the developmental process than what is currently possible. The technology will benefit Microsize customers who today utilize Microsize services to enhance solubility and bioavailability of drug candidates using particle size engineering including micronization and nanomilling.
