With so many outsourcing/insourcing options across drug development workflows, pharmaceutical companies are faced with finding the right partner to fit the needs of their unique molecule. There are criteria to consider when outweighing the benefits and risks associated with buying or building a bioanalytical lab.
To restrict the use of intentionally added microplastics, the European Chemicals Agency has proposed a restriction dossier that describes various measures aimed at minimizing the use of microplastics in various industrial segments, including pharmaceuticals. In this paper, the authors discuss these restrictions.
Christian Cobaugh, Eswar Iyer, and Vincenzo Antignani go behind the headlines to discuss a mixture of investment trends, policy realignments, trade and stock recalibrations, and an apparent crusade against vaccines both new and old.
In this paper, the authors introduce a method that combines ion exchange chromatography with an easier-to-perform, simpler one-step post-column derivatization that is selective to nitrite and visible spectrophotometric detection to allow high sample loading volumes without affecting resolution.
Prior to use in a continuous manufacturing system for oral solid dosage forms, loss-in-weight feeders need to be tested and validated to understand the performance capabilities of a given material–feeder combination. In this article, the proper strategy for set-up and optimization of a loss-in-weight feeder is demonstrated for a range of materials. The optimized set-up of the feeders was demonstrated to provide suitable performance for even the most challenging, poorly flowing materials.
The move toward using the Digital Application Dataset Integration (DADI) project for the initial implementation of IDMP-based regulatory data submissions offers both opportunities and challenges for pharmaceutical organizations.
