Problem Solving Using all of our characterization capabilities we can help solve the following problems These powders are supposed to be the same, however this one consistently causes problems. These pharmaceutical tablets dissolve at different rates even though the formulation was the same. How does a change in my process affect the final product. Ive changed suppliers and was assured the raw materials were the same. Now I am having problems with quality.
