Colorista® Capsules
Capsugel® Colorista® technology can provide a shorter development time for your product, while offering flexibility to progress with technical development before the final commercial color decision is taken.
A single R&D solution for pharmaceutical formulation development
Commercial color decisions are rarely made before initial stability studies — which can result in costly delays if new colors are introduced. And one major concern when developing a new drug is the ability to anticipate upfront interactions between fill and capsule.
Colorista® capsules are a new single R&D solution for pharmaceutical formulation development. It allows the ability to progress with compatibility and stability testing before deciding on a color for the commercial drug product. Colorista® capsules are the perfect tool for pharmaceutical customers who are looking for flexible and time-efficient development of new products or generics.
Capsugel® Colorista® is available in Coni-Snap® gelatin and Vcaps® Plus capsules which contains a selection of colorants and printing inks with a broad geographic scope. It is an optimized tool for formulation development and enabling compatibility studies before deciding on the final color for the commercial drug products.*
