In this final part of a series of three articles, the results from experiments involving cohesive materials are discussed in terms of mixing performance, agglomerate comminution, and lubrication of powder mixtures.
A data-integrity risk assessment tool has been developed for use with standalone R&D data-acquisition and processing software.
Stringent patentability requirements present a challenge to obtaining broad-based antibody claims, so companies should develop a strategy based on multiple reinforcing layers of protection.
The author describes how to seize market opportunities while navigating the requirements of both drug therapies and delivery devices.
Sponsors should consider best practices for maintaining data generated during sample analysis and instrument maintenance.
A recent book shows the links between synthesis, catalysis, and environmental protection.

The most important consideration when choosing a freeze dryer is to ensure the system is fit for both today's applications and future needs.
Creating an inhaled formulation is one way in which improved efficacy or added value can be achieved in projects to repurpose or reposition existing drugs.
Assessing biosafety using NGS-based tests requires a continuum of skills in molecular biology, biocomputing, virology, and quality systems.
Investigators are exploiting the tremendous structural diversity of polypeptides and their biophysical properties to develop novel drug carriers. Peptide-based materials hold out much promise for tailor-made targeting, penetration, and release of contents in a host of biological microenvironments.
Analytical procedure performance can be continually verified by risk-based monitoring of performance related data.
Basic principles of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and its impact in streamlining the drug development process are reviewed.
Several steps need be taken to achieve lights-out, fully automated operations.
A new kind of gastro-retentive dosage form for drugs with poor aqueous solubility was developed and evaluated, with the aim of achieving gastro-retention.
Attendees at a recent workshop endorsed new methods to detect metals in drugs, dietary supplements, and food ingredients.
The combination of modular facilities and closed processing offers significant advantages in the production of biopharmaceuticals and is becoming a compelling option for manufacturing.
The need for preclinical testing expertise is growing as molecular complexity increases.
The authors propose an alternative to the USP disintegration test method. The method embraces physiological conditions of the oral cavity, as a screening tool for developing ODT products.
Liquid and semisolid encapsulation using two-piece hard capsules is an ideal drug delivery approach for highly potent compounds and poorly water-soluble drugs. The authors detail the factors to reduce risk when designing and operating a facility for secondary manufacturing of highly potent drugs.
Leveraging predictive data to drive value and maximize manufacturing uptime.
A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats analysis of the biosimilars market is given.
A data-driven strategy can assess the quality of legacy drugs developed before 2011 process-validation requirements were established.
Many biologic drug manufacturers encounter similiar challenges; precompetitive collaboration can help resolve these issues. Representatives of the IQ Consortium’s Biologics CMC Leadership Group describe efforts to address the safe handling of biologic drugs in closed-system transfer devices in healthcare settings and the need for phase-appropriate specifications.
It’s crucial to consider the optimal handling systems for cleanroom and other lab environments.
