Spray drying enables the production of amorphous solid dispersions, allowing efficient scale-up
from small screening batches to commercial levels. By leveraging small-scale experiments for process design
and qualification, a robust validation strategy can be developed to support flexible, scalable manufacturing for
small-molecule drug products.
The PharmTech team focused on its coverage of AAPS PharmSci 360 this week, conducting interviews with experts on a range of topics including formulation platforms, AI, amorphous solid dispersions, and animal studies.
Nitin Kumar Swarnakar, PhD, global application lab manager at BASF, talks about spray drying for drying amorphous solid dispersions and Raman spectroscopy’s role as a quantitative analytical tool.
Aleksandra Zuraw, senior veterinary pathologist at Charles River, discusses how chain of custody, good laboratory practice, quality control, and validation are applied to digital pathology data used in drug development.
