Spray Drying of Human Insulin
Application Note Mini Spray Dryer B-290 Human Insulin
Human insulin is a protein hormone used to treat diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels. Spray drying is a promising technique used to produce dry powder formulations of human insulin, which can improve the stability and shelf life of the hormone.
Spray drying of human insulin requires careful optimization of several parameters, such as the type and concentration of the excipient, the drying temperature, and the feed rate. The final powder properties such as particle size, morphology, and insulin activity depend on these parameters.
The applications of spray-dried human insulin powder are diverse and include the production of therapeutic drugs for the treatment of diabetes. The use of spray-dried human insulin powder can improve the stability and shelf life of the hormone, reduce the dosage of the hormone needed, and provide a more convenient form of administration.
Overall, spray drying of human insulin powder is an important process in the pharmaceutical industry, providing a stable and versatile powder form of the hormone with improved functional properties that can be applied in various therapeutic applications.
