Current methods are slow, resource intensive and require large amounts of sample. The project will address all of these shortfalls, develop new competencies in formulation science and is seeing a strong market pull. The innovation will come from the miniaturisation and the application of Paraytec's unique technology to allow direct imaging of both the receptor and the semi-solid dosage form.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
