The Validation and Implementation of a Chromatography Data System

This article describes the approach used to upgrade a chromatography data system. The upgrade was required to meet the current regulatory requirements for good laboratory and good manufacturing practice. Compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 for electronic records and electronic signatures was also a major consideration. The procedures used for this project followed the software development life cycle (SDLC) and involved the co-ordination of personnel from the software vendor, the user department, information technology and quality assurance.

Comparison of Atomization Conditions Between Different Spray Guns Used in Pharmaceutical Film Coating

Consideration of the key process variable will define the ease with which coating processes can be transferred from development to production. This study investigates those factors influencing atomization from two spray guns and examines how development-scale procedures on interchangeable drum coating equipment compare with those typically used in a production environment.

A New Definition for API Starting Materials

The FDA guidelines that stipulate the conditions for starting materials are currently being superseded. PhRMA and several European pharmaceutical manufacturers have already added their voices to the ongoing discussion and, as this editorial explains, the debate is far from over. Rules are important, but industry is looking to a future when health care authorities are less inclined to impart total control over every aspect of production.
