Extractables and leachables (E&L) testing for packaging-related impurities is essential to ensure cGMP compliance and, most importantly, patient safety.

Ensure the success of clinical biomanufacturing programs by focusing on key tech transfer practices from the sponsor, commercial, scientific, and program management stakeholders.

One of the causes of crimp variation that can lead to integrity failures due to poorly sealed vials has been reported to be component dimensional variation. Critical dimensions of the components of a vial system (vial, stopper, and cap) can vary within manufacturing tolerances, but these ranges of variation may require adjustments to the capper settings to ensure a proper package seal.

Partnering with a CDMO with collective insights and capabilities to support the development and manufacture of an innovative biotherapeutic program is an essential first step to providing better care to patients.

Dr. Luca Mantilli, an R&D chemist at Valsynthese, shares his insights into the company’s journey with phosgene, an exceptionally versatile reagent that offers various synthetic possibilities.

Consistent quantification using qPCR and dPCR technology is essential for obtaining accurate and precise viral vector titers.

Lipid-based formulations (LBFs) are complex mixtures of lipid, surfactant and solvent excipient, where the composition determines the potential impact of dispersion and digestion on drug solubilization. By carefully selecting fill formulations during the early stages of drug development, it is possible to meet the specific requirements for bioavailability and stability for clinical trial and supply.

Various impurities can infiltrate the container closure system in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Understanding nitrosamines, elemental impurities, extractables, and leachables can help ensure the safety of the final product.

Knowing the right time to introduce cGMP raw materials when scaling up mAbs manufacturing avoids production process redevelopment, delays and increased costs. Using cGMP grade reagents earlier makes for a seamless transition while maintaining quality and viability. Learn key considerations for a seamless scale up process in our GMP fact sheet.

Buffers are used in great quantities when producing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), and many biopharmaceutical companies — even large ones — do not have the processing capacity or infrastructure in-house to handle these large volumes. Whether it’s providing quality, pre-weighed, GMP-compliant raw materials or the entire buffer preparation step, there are options available to optimize your process.

As the most expensive stage of monoclonal antibody production, downstream processing presents numerous opportunities to increase efficiency and raw material performance. This article discusses advances in purification process materials, as well as emerging technologies to aggregate and analyze data, as possible solutions to these challenges.

Lipid-based formulations can improve the oral bioavailability of some molecules. However, a poor understanding of the technology and complexities limit their use.

It is essential to have access to the right tools and expertise to support process development for biologic therapies, from the clinical trial phase to commercialization.

Experic’s latest article looks at new initiatives aimed at fostering the development of biologics delivered via inhalation, an emerging field. While manufacturing technologies have advanced to support this sector, several challenges remain, including an unclear regulatory pathway.

When you’re partnering with a design firm to support your product development and manufacturing needs through automation, it’s important to decide whether you should work with a systems integrator or an automation design engineering firm.
