And now, Instacoat Lab: A tablet coating toolkit as a mobile app

Sir Francis Bacon first coined the phrase “Knowledge is power” in 1597. The popular spin off of this phrase in the 21st century is “Information is power”. It is hard to underestimate the value/power of accessing the right information at the right time. With this mind, Ideal Cures felt that a tablet coating toolkit, which provides information by the click of a button, would be of immense value to scientists.

Ideal Cures has been a leading player in film coating systems since more than a decade and this experience and expertise has culminated in to a vast knowledge base. Speaking about the idea behind this latest innovation, Suresh Pareek, Managing Director, Ideal Cures says, “It has been our constant endeavour to give our customers quick and efficient technical service. With this end in mind, we wanted to make our expertise available to the customers, and that too at their fingertips!”

This thought process led to the genesis of Instacoat Lab, a mobile-based application which acts as a tablet coating toolkit. This is the first time that a B2B excipient company has launched a mobile based application.

In the first edition, Instacoat Lab features a colour guide, country-wise colour regulatory information and various interactive tools like time and cost saving calculator when converting to Instacoat, drum pan velocity calculator, tablet surface area calculator, reconstitution calculator. The entire Ideal Cures product portfolio is also included in the app.

An extensive colour guide has around 1000 shades and was designed keeping in mind that faster developed of products can be enabled when the colour guide is available in the palm of the hand.

Pharmaceutical products are regulated in virtually every aspect of the product life-cycle , different countries have different regulations for permitted colours. Instacoat Lab features a country-wise regulatory information tab, so that the scientists will have access to the complete regulatory information on the go.

Instacoat Lab also has several interactive calculators like a calculator specially designed to calculate how the use of Instacoat film coating systems can save time and cost. Other calculators act as tools to help the scientists with the day-to-day calculations related to tablet coating like calculating the reconstitution of the coating solution and calculators that aid in the scale up of the coating process. Another interactive tool in is the tablet surface area calculator. Ideal Cures believes that Instacoat Lab will revolutionise the way scientists use mobile technology. The company invites users to talk to them about the app and features that they would desire in the app.
