Session: Solid Form Selection: Cocrystals, Salts, Solvates, Polymorphs, and Beyond

Continuous improvement of the physicochemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) such as solubility, bioavailability, dissolution rate, stability, hygroscopicity, crystallinity and taste, represents an emerging area of research and development. This session focuses on the selection of solid forms including cocrystals, salts, solvates and polymorphs in crystallization processes, as well as the screening, predicting, manipulating and controlling techniques for such product selection.
