About ACGcaps™ H+
ACGcaps™ H+ is manufactured using a proprietary thermogelation technology that eliminates the need for traditional gelling agents found in most HPMC capsules. Comprising only cellulose and water ensures a pH-independent dissolution profile similar to that found in gelatin capsules, but also minimising the risk of unwanted interactions between the capsule polymer and formulation components.
Key features
- Low inherent moisture – well-suited for moisture-sensitive and hygroscopic drug substance(s) and excipients
- Can be filled with powders, pellets, granules and liquids, or combinations thereof
- Fulfils the dissolution requirement, regardless of pH or ionic strength
- Due to low inherent moisture content, it remains stable and robust on storage under a broad temperature range
- Withstands cross-linking as there is no available amino acid chain to react with aldehydic moieties present in drug substances or excipients
- No animal-derived components
- Possesses high mechanical strength and excellent machinability
Technical specifications
- Moisture content: 3.0% to 8.0%
- Disintegration time in water at 37 ± 2°C: maximum 15 minutes (with guided disc)
