MeltPrep Product Family

Modular Lab Instruments Expanding Research Possibilities

MeltPrep Tools are Built to Work Together

From R&D to Scale-Up

MeltPrep’s tools are designed to work together as a cohesive system, supporting solid dose and implant development from early R&D through scale-up. At the center is the VCM Essentials Platform, which can be expanded with a range of modular add-ons to match different materials, processes, and applications. This flexible setup allows teams to build efficient, application-specific workflows while maintaining consistency and control throughout development.

VCM Products & Add-Ons

Benchtop Research Tools to Fit Your Needs

One platform, plenty of possibilities. Configure your VCM setup with the tools, add-ons and accessories you need to support everything from early material screening to advanced prototyping and testing.

MeltPrep Mixer

Homogeneous Shear Mixing with Milligrams

Blend APIs and excipients in minutes without solvents or material loss. The MeltPrep Mixer creates homogeneous formulations ready for VCM prototyping and early-stage development.

VCM Essentials Platform

An Essential for Every Lab

VCM Essentials is the modular base platform for precise, repeatable specimen generation. Modular tools, inserts and accessories let you adapt sample geometry and processing conditions while keeping operation simple, safe and efficient.

VCM Pharma Pro Platform

Your Complete Formulation Toolkit, All in One Case

Screen ASD and implant formulations with milligram quantities and create analysis-ready specimens in minutes. VCM Pharma Pro brings the essential tools, inserts, accessories, Mixer and Slider together in one compact system for faster pharmaceutical R&D.

VCM Free-D Molding

Easily Prototype Custom Geometries

Turn a product idea into a VCM prototype with a custom mold made for your geometry. Free-D combines the design freedom of 3D printing with low-material molding for implants, tablets, microneedles and other complex dosage forms. 

VCM Filament Molder

Precision Filaments Ready for Printing

Turn powders, pellets or VCM samples into homogeneous 1.75 mm filament using less than 3 g of material. The VCM Filament Molder enables fast, material-efficient development of pharmaceutical and specialty filaments. 

VCM Spectroscopy

Evaluate Spectroscopy Before Scale-Up

Test and calibrate production-style spectroscopy sensors on small, carefully controlled VCM specimens before committing material and equipment time to full-scale manufacturing.

Expand Your Benchtop Research Capabilities

Go beyond VCM with practical benchtop tools for material and process research. Expand your lab capabilities with flexible solutions designed to help you explore, understand and develop materials and processes more efficiently.

MeltPrep Slider

Thermal Analysis Simple as a Ruler

See how your material softens, melts and flows across a continuous 50–300 °C temperature gradient. The MeltPrep Slider provides rapid visual and tactile insight into process temperature and viscosity, with no calibration or hot-surface cleaning required.

VChamber

Turn Any Hot Plate into a Vacuum Oven
