CritiTech continues
to expand its proprietary SCF technology
production capabilities to meet the needs
of the pharmaceutical industry.

CritiTech, Inc. conducts research
and development into the production and application
of fine-particle compounds. The company has expanded
its operations to include applications in fine
particle API production, coatings, and internal
product development.
CritiTech expects pharmaceutical
manufacturers to quickly recognize the superiority
of CritiTech's proprietary methods for precisely
manufacturing fine particle pharmaceutical compounds.
The company's proprietary technology may allow
pharmaceutical companies to substantially increase
the probabilities of new compounds actually reaching
the market place by enhancing delivery of these
compounds. Additionally, CritiTech's technology
can be used to extend the patent life for compounds
currently being marketed by developing formulations
that have improved bioavailability due to small
particle size. This approach has significant potential
advantages over other delivery technologies that
require reformulation using "carriers"
such as liposomes or other compounds. Such approaches
typically require additional regulatory steps,
while CritiTech's approach can potentially produce
improved bioavailability without the use of such
"carriers," thus avoiding the regulatory
burdens and expenses that such approaches impose
in new product development.
By many estimates between 30% and
40% of all new chemical entities produced by pharmaceutical
companies have water solubility that is low enough
to render the compound unusable as a drug. CritiTech's
patented technology can help manufacturers overcome
this problem.
A relatively small investment in
the exploration of the use of CritiTech's technologies
can result in a dramatic increase in the number
of potential new drugs that a company can investigate.
Mission Statement
CritiTech specializes in optimizing
the delivery of challenging drug substances--
potent molecules, poorly soluble compounds and
biomolecules. Using our proprietary SCF Technology
and our ability to simplify formulations we can
extend the potential delivery options to oral,
injection, inhalation routes as well as to implantable
devices. We thus provide the differentiated products
that truly benefit patients in all age groups
from pediatric to geriatric. We develop products
with significant commercial potential both independently
and in collaboration with strategic partners.
