Hot Melt Extrusion (HME) is a process used in drug discovery to produce drug-loaded polymeric materials. It is a continuous process that involves melting and mixing of polymers and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) at high temperatures. The resulting material is then extruded through a die to form a solid product. HME is used to produce drug-loaded polymeric materials with improved bioavailability, solubility, and stability. It is also used to produce drug-loaded polymeric materials with controlled release profiles. HME is a cost-effective and efficient method for producing drug-loaded polymeric materials. It is also a versatile process that can be used to produce a wide range of drug-loaded polymeric materials. Some companies in the Hot Melt Extrusion market include Elmarco, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and GEA Group. Show Less Read more
