Infrastructure

Rubicon Research has built a laboratory infrastructure incorporating state-of-the-art equipment,
and its facilities include

Formulation Development Laboratory

Solid Dosage Forms :
• Rapid mixer granulator
• Fluid bed processor with multiple attachments
  (including table top Glatt model)
• Conventional coating pan, Perforated coating pan
• Compression machines (including three layered tablet press).
• Roller Compactor, Extruder, Spheronizer
Dispersed systems :
Mixers
Homogenizers.
Packaging:
Unit dose Blister packing machine

These equipment only help strengthen Rubicon Research’s resolve to achieve world class capabilities in processing solid dosage forms including coating of multi-particulate systems, dispersible tablets, OROS systems and liquid and semi-solid dosage forms and other dispersed systems.


Development Facility for handling high potency compounds

The design of this formulation laboratory incorporates pressure gradients facilitating containment of particles, one pass air system in the area, reverse laminar airflow for protection of personnel, decontamination area of material and garments.


Analytical Development Laboratory

Rubicon Research’s analytical wing is also geared to continue and consolidate its commitment to meet and surpass international standards. The embodiment of this attitude is reflected in its laboratory, which houses:

• HPLC’s (with UV and DAD detectors)
Automated systems with sample cooling arrangement and with column oven attachment from Agilent Technologies, Shimadzu Corporation, Waters, Dionex Corporation.
• Ion Chromatograph.
• UV Spectrophotometer.
• Dissolution apparatus (USP I and II).
• D.T Apparatus, Bulk Density Apparatus, Friabilator.
• Viscometer, pH meter etc.
• Shakers.

Rubicon Research’s total analytical support system includes method development for dosage forms, validation of methods, release rate feedback, and evaluation of stability samples.


Stability Testing Facility

Facility for storage testing according to the ICH guideline and GLP norms.

Storage stations at –
10 deg C
25 deg C / 60% RH
30 deg C / 65% RH
40 deg C / 75% RH
65 deg C in addition to above


Microbiology Laboratory

Rubicon Research has started a Microbiology wing to estimate the number of viable aerobic microorganisms present and for freedom from designated microbial species in all pharmaceutical articles; detect the microbial load in water; preserve efficacy testing of pharmaceutical articles and for environmental monitoring.


Quality Assurance

Rubicon Research’s QA team is competent to handle all documentation, out of specification and atypical results, change control, internal audit, training, cleaning verification, quality manual, water quality manual, destruction of material, scheduling of activities, licenses and handling of deviation.
