Containment for cytotoxics– 28-Mar-2013
The increasing potency of active pharmaceutical ingredients is driving the requirement for more advanced containment systems to ensure operator safety at both pilot scale and for large-scale commercial production
Designing out contamination– 28-Mar-2013
Effective microbiological control is key to ensuring product safety, quality and image. In the event of a contamination incident the advice is to focus on looking for changes in raw material specs, equipment design failure, formulation or process error. While cleaning and sanitisation systems are crucial, preventative measures such as careful design of pipework and operation of supporting services, such as vacuum and vent systems, can radically reduce the risk of microbiological contamination
Planning a facility upgrade without service interruptions– 28-Mar-2013
Catalent decided to undertake a fundamental redesign and improvement in the layout of its facility in Schorndorf to meet the latest standards, including a radical change to the air handling systems. The major project was planned and implemented with minimal disruption to the site's customer base
How to prevent drug shortages yet sustain quality– 25-Mar-2013
The US FDA reported that 251 drugs went into shortage during 2011, of which 73% were sterile injectables. The shortages followed a common pattern: one or more manufacturers temporarily stopped production to address a manufacturing quality problem, most often caused by microbial or particulate contamination. Sterility assurance, especially in facilities that are not fully automated, can be difficult to accomplish, but at the heart of the drug shortage problem is the inability of the market to observe, and therefore, to reward quality
Safe handling of animal pathogens– 27-Feb-2013
The Pirbright Institute’s new laboratory facility in Surrey will be one of the most advanced category 4 biocontainment facilities in the world. A fully functioning replica of the laboratory was built to ensure air leakage targets were met, with solid concrete rather than panellised construction and gaskets used to create airtight seals around every penetration of the structure.
