Physicochemical Analysis Tools
The results of PhysChem analysis form the foundations on which much of the process of drug development is based. Expertise in PhysChem analysis is also one of the principles on which Pion was founded and where we’ve continued to build our reputation. We provide the instrumentation and expertise that allow scientists and researchers around the world to establish the core properties of the compounds they are working with. Our key strengths in PhysChem Analysis cover ionization, pKa, LogP, Solubility, Dissolution and Permeability.
Our Technologies
Pion's range of versatile instruments is designed to automate the analysis of physicochemical properties. They can help assess overlapping KPAs and collect insights on dissolution, solubility, and permeability. With insights from our PhysChem analysis tools, researchers can reduce errors and make better formulation choices.

What Is Physicochemical Analysis?
Physicochemical analysis is instrumental in measuring the ability of a chemical compound to produce a pharmacological effect. By examining the interactions between a drug and a biomolecule, researchers can assess whether the drug is delivering its intended effects or further improvements are required. Physicochemical analysis of drugs offers a faster way to acquire essential data and facilitate pharmaceutical development.
Physicochemical Properties of Drugs
- Solubility: depends on a variety of factors such as temperature, pH, pressure, and nature of solute and solvent.
- Surface activity: Surface active agents influence drug absorption which is based on the surfactant’s chemical nature and concentration.
- Partition coefficient: affects the way the drug gets transported from the site of application to site of action.
- Ionization of drug: depends on its pKa & pH. Ionization influences the degree of penetration of a drug through membranes.
- Protein binding: Depending on whether it’s acidic or basic, a drug can either bind to multiple or single blood proteins.
- Hydrogen bonding: a crucial parameter in the formulation of drugs, hydrogen bonding is classified into two types: intermolecular and intramolecular.
