Researchers at Chandigarh University have received a patent for a new device designed to improve drug absorption studies. According to the announcement, the system is both economical and energy efficient, with the goal of making this part of pharmaceutical research more accurate and affordable.
Drug absorption testing is an important step in understanding how medicines behave in the body. A lower-cost tool for these studies could help researchers and manufacturers reduce testing expenses while maintaining reliable results. The university says the device is intended to support accurate analysis without the higher costs often associated with such work.
The development is also being presented as a way to help bring down the cost of medicines. Based on the announcement, the technology could contribute to reducing medicine prices by as much as 40% by lowering research-related costs in the drug development process.
The patented device highlights growing research activity in India focused on practical healthcare innovation. If adopted more widely, tools that make pharmaceutical studies cheaper and more energy efficient could have a meaningful impact on both drug development and the affordability of medicines.
