Tablet Design Centre Opens in Japan
19 January 2006
West Point, Pennsylvania, USA, (date)- Effective December 1, 2005, the fourth Colorcon Global Tablet Design Centre™ (TDC™) officially opened it's doors in Fuji-gun, Shizuoka. This high-tech conference centre has been created to facilitate the research and design of distinctive pharmaceutical tablet dosage forms.
Colorcon TDC facilities form an integral part of the BEST, the Brand Enhancement System for Tablets. BEST offers a unique service supporting new product development and brand management of an existing product.
Each design facility is equipped for efficient on-site collaboration between Colorcon experts and a client's own project team. Proprietary and Color Insight databases, Therapeutic Category Image and Trademark Searches plus Colorcon's regulatory and technical guidance help pharmaceutical companies make informed decisions that influence the design of their product. Plus, utilizing proprietary Colorcon software, a uniquely shaped and colored tablet can be designed and immediately viewed dimensionally on screen - demonstrating just how the final dosage form could look.
Client testimonials have added incentive for Colorcon to continue its expansion in offering this unique service around the globe. Those who have already experienced the TDC process are enthusiastic about having the opportunity to visualize their product's appearance in very early stages of new product development and integrate their findings into every aspect of their launch plans.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers can bring their project teams to a Tablet Design Centre and also collaborate via conference calls, and web collaboration, saving travel time while ensuring clear, consistent communication regarding tablet design potential. Photorealistic images of the client's dosage design are available throughout the process.
The company has similar TDC's in the US, UK and India. Another TDC is scheduled to open in China early in 2006.
