Drug development is a long road with many dead ends to avoid. Part of the journey involves understanding the spatial distribution of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients, investigating final product homogeneity and differentiating chemically similar molecules such as polymorphs, to guarantee product quality and to maximise process efficiency. To ensure that the correct route… Read more »

Compaction simulators offer the capability to replicate tablet compression parameters at production scale right from the development steps – using minimal material quantities. This presentation will focus on the fundamentals of compaction simulator design and will present several case studies around material characterization, formulation development, scale-up and troubleshooting of tablet defects. It will highlight the… Read more »

This presentation will look at the path of regulatory guidance over the last decade, in the context of container closure integrity inspection for pharmaceutical product packaging and help explain what this means across the manufacturing life-cycle. We will cover why different approaches and justifications need to be considered for different stages of product development and… Read more »

A critical decision to secure the purity and safety of goods produced in controlled environments is how to seal off a Clean Room or Controlled Atmospheric Area. This technology insight will cover door solutions for clean rooms including those with conveyor integration and robotics solutions. It includes the most modern touchless opening technologies to help… Read more »

Excipients are typically the major components in a drug product. Many formulations contain only a small percentage of the active drug molecules. Pharmaceutical excipients or additives are compounds added to the finished drug products to serve a specific function. Injectable products require a unique formulation strategy. The formulated product must be sterile, pyrogen-free, and, in… Read more »

This presentation will review and highlight the importance of surfactants in the production and formulation of biological actives for the biopharma industry. It will introduce and explain BASFs approach to this key class of functional materials for the biopharma industry, and the impact of excipients on biologics formulations. It will also cover the effect on… Read more »
