Beyond Solvents: The Future of Sustainable Amorphous Dispersion Development

AustinPx CEO Elizabeth Hickman examines why greener amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) development requires more than simply reducing solvent use. As sustainability expectations grow, she explains how cost, risk, timelines, and long-term asset value are all shaped by the complexity of the manufacturing process itself. The article explores how traditional solvent-based ASD approaches can introduce added waste, infrastructure demands, and scale-up challenges, then looks at how AustinPx’s proprietary KinetiSol™ Technology, a solvent-free ASD manufacturing platform, offers a simpler path forward. Elizabeth shows how greener ASD development can improve predictability, support scale-up, and create stronger business value through a more efficient route to market.
