This whitepaper explains how the use of pharmacopeial reference standards for quality control can help reduce risk, minimize work, and accelerate drug product development.

The ebooklet addresses findings from the Consortium on Adventitious Agent Contamination in Biomanufacturing’s survey of virus contamination experience and mitigating controls and other research, reviews recommended risk management tools to avoid adventitious agent contamination, and provides a framework for a risk management process

This chapter, excerpted from the book Good Distribution Practice, draws on the author’s experience with shipping pharmaceuticals under controlled conditions, particularly over long distances, and his work toward solutions providers in the field.

Tablet press design innovation has traditionally centered on large-scale production equipment, however, there is increasing focus on the smaller-scale, mid-range models that must have the capability to support product development, scale-up, tech transfer, clinical batch manufacturing, small and medium batch production, and continuous manufacturing applications. This range of capabilities demands unique features and design flexibility.

Bioavailability of insoluble compounds is one of the biggest challenges to drug delivery. Improving bioavailability is crucial to creating dosage forms that are easy to use and meet demands for patient compliance. 

This excerpted chapter of a longer book reviews the history of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics act, including milestones, subsequent laws, and predictions for future laws and regulations; explores the role of Regulatory Affairs in product development; and addresses the importance of a quality management system and organization in bringing products to market.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced countless difficult decisions to be made in the face of unprecedented uncertainty. Patients, consumers, and industry professionals alike are looking for guidance, support, and answers. With increased demand on pharmaceutical manufacturers to develop a COVID-19 therapeutic alongside all the existing treatments that are still needed by millions, there follows the growing need for strict quality control processes, and the ability to test and release large volumes of newly manufactured vaccines.

Single-Use Systems offer biopharmaceutical manufacturers unique benefits in new and existing applications. Emerson’s measurement instrumentation solutions offer newfound flexibility to scale operations.

Optimizing the Manufacture of Cell and Gene TherapiesDescription: Cell and gene therapies are an emerging field that is seeing rapid growth. The manufacture of these advanced therapy products is not yet fully optimized, however, and still carries risks and challenges to process quality, scale up and efficiency. This ebook on Optimizing the Manufacture of Cell and Gene Therapies discusses strategies to making these cell or gene therapy products a success.

Myths and misunderstanding abound when it comes to microbiology. When it comes to cleanroom and pharmaceutical microbiology, some “myths” have become engrained and even endorsed by regulatory bodies. The authors use logic and sound science to dispel some Microbiological Myths related to Disinfectant Cleaning of Controlled Environments.
