Expertise You Can Rely On

We understand the complexities involved in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical product development. That’s why we provide:

  • Technical documentation including CoAs, TDS, SDS, and functional data
  • Clarification of compliance to USP, Ph.Eur., BP, and JP standards
  • Recommendations for excipient functions such as binders, disintegrants, solubilizers, and taste-masking agents
  • Guidance on regulatory declarations and specification matching
  • Assistance in evaluating second-source or alternative-grade materials

Sample and Trial Phase Support

We support R&D and formulation trials by:

  • Coordinating sample shipments quickly with required paperwork
  • Providing batch-specific technical data to reduce trial-and-error
  • Helping your team understand performance differences across grades and specifications
  • Advising on material compatibility and substitution potential

Collaborative Supplier Access

We facilitate direct technical dialogue with the manufacturers we represent, ensuring clear answers on:

  • Particle size distribution
  • Solubility and viscosity profiles
  • Processing compatibility such as for wet granulation or direct compression
  • Stability, residual solvents, and formulation suitability

Accelerating Project Timelines

Our goal is to help speed up your project development cycle by reducing the bottlenecks typically caused by:

  • Unavailable or outdated technical data
  • Delayed document turnaround
  • Lack of formulation support or slow response from manufacturers

By serving as a single point of contact for both technical and commercial alignment, Alkan helps bridge the gap between R&D and procurement.
