A novel approach in assessing the antimicrobial efficacy of eye drop products
4 May 2016 | By Mostafa Eissa, Hikma Pharmaceuticals
The microbial contamination of medicinal products constitutes a continuous threat to the health of consumers, which may negatively impact pharmaceutical companies’ reputability. However, multidose sterile pharmaceutical products are prone to contamination either from the normal flora of the human body or from the surrounding environment, following their misuse by patients.…
Whitepaper: Simultaneous in situ real-time monitoring of a bioprocess
1 April 2016 | By Kaiser Optical Systems
In mammalian-cell-based bioprocesses the most common critical process parameters (CPPs) include physical parameters (temperature, pressure, dissolved oxygen [DO] levels) as well as chemical properties (pH, concentrations of both substrates and byproducts) and biochemical properties (cell number and viability, cell physiology).

Dissolution testing in the modern world
29 February 2016 | By David Elder (JPAG member and consultant), Juliet Symonds
Historically, dissolution testing has been used primarily as a quality control (QC) test for solid oral drug products1. Indeed, it is the only QC test which provides a measure of the quantitative release rate of the drug from the pharmaceutical product. More recently, the test has been proposed in lieu…
Expert View: Standardisation through automation
29 February 2016 | By SOTAX Group
There are several sources of variability in the “inherently poor design” of compendial dissolution apparatus types. Nevertheless, dissolution testing is a QC requirement for many products, and so the industry faces the challenge of implementing and managing fleets of dissolution equipment. However, through instrument and process design and automation, managing…
The challenges of riskbased environmental monitoring in sterile product filling
29 February 2016 | By James L. Drinkwater
Completing risk assessments is an inherent part of good manufacturing practice (GMP) and risk-based environmental control and monitoring (EM) in sterile product filling within isolators and restricted access barrier systems (RABS). This article considers the challenges the pharmaceutical industry faces in characterising conventional risk assessments like failure modes and effects…
