Training between LIF and FIQ - UNL for FONARSEC project

LIF made a training plan together with professionals from Facultad de Ingeniería Química de la Universidad Nacional del Litoral (FIQ - UNL)*.

     The main objective was to apply different methods to characterize powders. Principally, these powders will be used to produce pharmaceutical forms through direct compression process.
     Through these methods someone can determine if a powder is suitable to use under direct compression process.
     The Graduates María Cecilia Balbi y Marianela Ciotti gave the lecture about these topics.
     FONARSEC is a financial instrument through which LIF might be able to get funds to improve its capacity of production.
