Pharmacel® 102

Pharmacel® 102

Microcrystalline cellulose 102

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) compacts more effectively than any other excipient making Pharmacel® 102 the ideal choice for direct compression. Its versatility in direct compression extends to very high dose actives, where compactability is at a premium.

Product description

Consistency
Pharmacel® is industry leading with high batch-to-batch consistency on functional properties allowing you low risk during production and in your formulation development. It features ultra-low nitrite levels averaging below the level of quantitation (LOQ) of 0.035 ppm.

Pharmacel® and Lactose formulations
DFE Pharma is the only global excipient manufacturer offering it’s customers both lactose and microcrystalline cellulose products for development of pharmaceutical formulations.
