MS Morph

Efficient modeling tool for organic crystal habit prediction

Materials Science: Morph

Overview

Crystal morphology critically affects many aspects of drug formulation and manufacturability. To some extent it can be controlled by a suitable choice of solvent and additives and crystallization conditions, such as temperature and supersaturation. Optimized crystal morphology helps to Increase the efficiency of the filtration process of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), improve product purity and tabletability, improve API bioavailability, optimize drying, packaging, handling and storage, and comply with toxicity requirements

MS Morph predicts crystal shape (or habits) for molecular crystals based on the surface energies and Wullf’s theorem. It provides valuable insights for crystal growth mode and powder processing.
