Determining a peptide’s purity is challenging because impurities are often structurally similar to each other and the API and can be present at very low concentrations. New approaches offer a solution.
The authors give special consideration factors affecting blow–fill–seal technology.
Kinetic models can be used to study aggregation and fragmentation to help ensure stability.
A key technology that can help achieve a continuous production flow is single-pass tangential flow filtration.

BioPharm International is about to embark on another new beginning. You'll remember the magazine (along with the primers, supplements and media kit) had a drastic new beginning in February of 2004 when we launched the major redesign. There were other new beginnings in the past two and one-half years, like five new columns (StreetTalk, Operations Excellence, BioPartnerships, Compliance Briefing and Final Word.) You'll even see a sixth column about legal issues in 2006.
Recognize that the drug drought is the "disease" underlying many of pharma's troubling symptoms, and the cure becomes apparent.
Most extractable and leachable (E&L) studies are based on liquid formulations. This article examines options for E&L studies to evaluate leaching from primary packaging into lyophilized drugs.
Formal process and operation improvement activities are being employed in almost every biopharmaceutical manufacturing company, according to a recent survey conducted by Tefen Ltd and Millipore Corporation. The industry-wide survey was conducted to assess current biopharmaceutical operations excellence (OpEx) trends and needs, as well as OpEx perceptions and expectations related to industry suppliers.
Drug developers must understand the complex bioanalytical assays for cell- and gene-therapy drug development programs and ensure that partners have the specialized expertise needed for complex therapeutic classes.

This benchmarking study compares the Advanced Instruments Solentim ICON™ viability assay to the performance of a commercially available cell counter. The results demonstrate lower variation, increased precision, and time savings.
In light of recent FDA guidance on data integrity, the challenges and benefits of using the public cloud to deploy and use data management software are discussed.
A properly designed validation program will detect variation and ensure control based on process risk.
Single-use systems can be a cost savings for CMOs, and these savings can be passed on to clients and, ultimately, to patients.
A novel mathematical approach for fitting concentration-response curves is proposed that offers a more accurate estimation of potency data.
As the global demand for cell culture continues to grow year after year, experts are developing new tools to ensure the environment for growing cells can be improved through continuous monitoring and control.
This eBook explores how advanced particle analysis technologies are revolutionizing biologic drug development. It highlights the importance of accurately identifying and characterizing subvisible particles to ensure drug safety, stability, and regulatory compliance. Techniques like Backgrounded Membrane Imaging (BMI) and Fluorescence Membrane Microscopy (FMM) are often used for their capabilities in detecting protein aggregates and degraded excipients such as polysorbates. Case studies and experimental results demonstrate how these tools provide high-throughput, low-volume analysis that enhances decision-making in formulation screening and manufacturing.
