Stability of Colloids

As a uniform dispersion of particles is critical to the therapeutic and diagnostic efficiency and the security of pharmaceutical colloid administration, stability against the co-precipitation is an essential thought. The accumulation of a hydrophilic colloid to a hydrophobic makes the hydrophilic colloid adsorb on and totally enclose the particles of hydrophobic, which at that point go up against a portion of the properties of the hydrophilic colloid. 
Occasionally in the formulations of pharmaceutical buffer salts are added to keep up a required pH for the stability of the product. Sometimes these buffers can give potential instability by insoluble salts forming with the metallic ions. This issue may happen particularly with phosphate buffers as most of the heavy metal phosphates are insoluble. If that buffer of insoluble phosphate salt from a colloidal dispersion, it may co-precipitate the particles along with it. To avoid this occurring, chelating operators might be utilized that will especially complex the metal particles, and accordingly keep them from reacting with the phosphate. Then again, buffers of non-phosphate might be substituted for phosphate buffers, when attainable, to avoid the instability.
