Ensuring patient safety during clinical trials; translation to preclinical drug discovery
3 September 2012 | By David Cook & James Milligan, AstraZeneca
Ensuring patient safety during clinical trials is of paramount consideration with stringent monitoring built into trials (and beyond) and the design and interpretation of safety outcomes subject to a large amount of regulation. As a result, it is rare for clinical trials to produce extreme adverse drug reactions but it…

Whitepaper: Good weighing practices for the pharmaceutical industry
In the laboratory, weighing is only one step of a whole analysis chain in drug discovery and quality control; however it strongly influences the overall quality and integrity of the final result. Proper weighing is thus essential to ensure continuous adherence to predefined process requirements and to avoid a frequent…

Applications of Raman, CARS and SRS imaging in dosage form development
26 April 2012 | By Clare Strachan, Senior Lecturer Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Pharmacy, University of Otago
The use of Raman spectroscopy in pharmaceuticals has grown enormously since its appearance on the scene in the 1980s1-4. While typical Raman spectroscopy setups are able to provide chemical and physicochemical information about the sample on the bulk level, most solid samples in the pharmaceutical setting may not be assumed…
