NovaSperse℠ technology is focused on the formation of stable amorphous nanoparticles with excellent reproducibility. This technology is being applied to both New Product Opportunities (NPO's) and Client Sponsored projects (CSP's).
 
 PharmaNova's proprietary NovaSperse℠ technology offers proactive control of nanoparticle characteristics and is tailored to the unique chemistry of individual active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).  PharmaNova's scientists are actively advancing the NovaSperse℠ technology platform towards attaining a leadership position among nanotechnology-enabled drug delivery companies.
 
 A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter; a human hair is roughly 100,000 nanometers wide; a human fingernail grows 1 nanometer every second; a sheet of paper is about 100,000 nanometers thick.
