Tablet hardness is essential when formulating a solid dosage form. Certain combinations of commonly used excipients may lead to softer tablets. This study outlines how to avoid those pitfalls and learn which excipients will enhance compaction.

Myths and misunderstanding abound when it comes to microbiology. When it comes to cleanroom and pharmaceutical microbiology, some “myths” have become engrained and even endorsed by regulatory bodies. The authors use logic and sound science to dispel some Microbiological Myths related to Disinfectant Cleaning of Controlled Environments.

Identifying counterfeit drugs has become an area of increasing focus for regulatory authorities and also for pharmaceutical companies. Raman spectroscopy is highly specific and can differentiate between materials with similar chemical structures.

-Micronization improves API bioavailability in new chemical entities. -Increased market demand for micronization has sparked increased CMO services. -Lonza Engine™ provides advantages throughout the drug development process.

This paper describes the existing regulatory framework for combined products and focuses on stability testing to assess drug or biological-device compatibility.

A core challenge among drug developers is working with challenging APIs, which are increasingly becoming more hydrophobic and/or with stronger crystal lattice structures, each ultimately poorly water soluble. This ebook covers a variety of important tools for formulators.

-Higher integrity assurance is needed for single-use systems -An integrity-testing strategy may be required to meet regulatory expectations -New scientific and technological approaches offer stronger integrity

The Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense’s (JPEO-CBRND) Joint Project Manager for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Medical (JPM CBRN Medical) entered into a Letter of Agreement for Materials and Information Transfer with Janssen Vaccines & Prevention B.V., part of the Janssen Pharmaceutical companies of Johnson & Johnson on October 2, 2019. The Agreement defines assay validation submission protocol and reporting processes to the European Medicines Agency, and potentially other foreign regulatory agencies and authorities, to expedite its review of Janssen’s vaccine. The Joint Project Manager for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Medical (JPM CBRN Medical), a component of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND), aims to provide U.S. military forces and the nation with safe, effective, and innovative medical solutions to counter chemi
