MeltPrep GmbH is a lab equipment manufacturer specializing in screening methods for hot-melt extrusion (HME) formulations. Its innovative process, the Vacuum Compression Molding (VCM) Technology, allows the transformation of thermoplastic materials in homogeneous specimens without altering the source materials' characteristics (e.g., Amorphous Solid Dispersions or implants in the milligram to gram-scale).
VCM is the first lossless approach to melt material into a defined sample without air inclusions, making it a powerful tool to speed up pharmaceutical formulation and process design. VCM's multiple applications include characterization methods such as rheology, DMTA testing, and solid-state analysis.
Different sizes and shapes are available. Our dimensions reach from 0.3 mm (
Our product portfolio also includes:
- ExtruVis: An optical Residence Time Distribution measurement technology for every continuous process in which a visual tracer can be applied. Suitable for hot-melt extrusion, dry and wet granulation, roller compaction, milling, and more.
- VChamber: Transforms a regular hot plate into a vacuum oven, saving space in your lab.
