In this case study, Colbert shares the methodology behind its robotic implementation, from defining the scope through vendor selection, design considerations and project wins.

An Overview of RFID Technology for Retail and Healthcare Packaging

Obesity is a significant global health challenge that requires lifestyle changes and effective pharmacological treatments to overcome. Human glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogs, also called incretin mimetics, have emerged as a promising obesity treatment option. Additionally, oral GLP-1 formulations represent a groundbreaking advance in obesity treatment, offering greater patient comfort and adherence to expand the therapeutic market.

This executive summary focuses on dose-flexible manufacturing strategies and their role in drug development. Dose flexibility is increasingly important for early clinical studies, particularly in areas such as pediatric medicines and oncology. However, flexible dosing strategies are often neglected or not prioritized early in development. This presentation will focus on technical strategies that can help anticipate appropriate timing for implementation and how to do so cost effectively while adhering to required timelines.

Carrier-based formulations for dry powder inhalers are carefully designed to transport extremely small particles into the lungs. Jet milling can be used to micronize these particles, with both high and low shear mixing processes used to formulate mixtures capable of carrying the fine API particles into the deep lung. This paper looks at the requirements for pulmonary delivery via carrier-based inhaled powder formulations, and how jet milling can be used to manufacture effective and stable materials for these formulations
