Product information

SuperTab® 21AN is a highly consistent, anhydrous lactose. The characteristic structure contains clusters of microcrystals of predominantly anhydrous β-lactose.

Due to being an anhydrous lactose it has a low moisture content. This property makes SuperTab® 21AN a popular choice in formulating with moisture sensitive API’s. The unique, low levels of crystalline water makes the use of SuperTab® 21AN with PAT technologies efficient.
