Outsourcing Compendial Testing for Competitive Advantage
Compendial testing covers a wide array of materials, subjects, and locations designed to create standards and programs that ensure the quality and safety of approved articles for a geographical location or areas such as USP (For the United States market) or Ph Eur (For European markets). The compendia provide monographs and test methods for active ingredients, raw materials, drug products, utilities (water and gases), and packaging components.
The Role of Forced Degradation in Method Development, Manufacturability, and CMC Strategy
April 28th 2025Forced degradation studies are critical in biologics development, particularly for monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). These studies simulate long-term environmental stressors to uncover degradation pathways and ensure the stability of critical quality attributes (CQAs), aiding in robust chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) strategies and regulatory compliance.
Filter Sizing for Process Optimization in Life Sciences Sterile Filtration
April 24th 2025Bench-scale filterability studies play a critical role in optimizing sterile filtration in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. By guiding the selection and sizing of filters, these studies help streamline processes, improve scalability, and reduce costs. Through data-driven case studies, this paper highlights how the strategic use of pre-filters and membrane materials can maximize throughput and minimize filter fouling.
Ensuring Biologic Stability with Tailored and Cutting-Edge Lyophilization Solutions
April 14th 2025Explore how tailored lyophilization solutions, integrated with quality-by- design principles and advanced modeling, help optimize stability, reduce costs, and enhance global accessibility for biopharmaceuticals.
Top 10 Cleanroom Problems That Can Be Prevented via Preventative Maintenance
April 14th 2025Cleanrooms require strict environmental control to maintain sterility, prevent contamination, and ensure seamless operations. Without a proactive preventative maintenance (PM) program, various issues can arise, leading to costly downtime, contamination risks, and operational inefficiencies. Below are ten common cleanroom problems that can be effectively mitigated through proper PM practices.
