Roche Engineer wins iPad at INTERPHEX
At the INTERPHEX show in New York last month where Pharmaceutical Technology/BioPharm International magazines and Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. launched the Pharmaceutical Technology/BioPharm International Marketplace, a contest was held to give away a free iPad mini.
The lucky winner was Ralph Mehne, an engineer at Roche Molecular Systems in New Jersey.
“I have never won a contest before this,” said Mehne, who has worked in engineering at Roche for the past 16 years. Before that, he was an engineer for a water/wastewater equipment company.
One of Mehne’s hobbies is photography and he said the iPad will get plenty of use.
“I really enjoy photography and since I have a digital camera with a three-inch screen, I will be able to download my pictures to the iPad and make adjustments instantly while I’m still in the field.”
Diving Deep into Carrier-Based Formulation and Process Optimization
December 23rd 2024Carrier-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
