A key issue faced in pharmaceutical laboratories is the integration and standardisation of data from the array of instruments. Here, Samantha Kanza from the University of Southampton outlines some challenges with using laboratory information management systems or other digital tools. How might these be overcome?
In this article, Mareia Frost, Scientific Leader at Abzena, explores how understanding the characteristics of protein‑based drugs, and applying the right techniques, means even the most complex biologics can be effectively separated from potentially-harmful impurities.
The European patent landscape is expected to change in 2023 with the launch of the Unified Patent Court. Owners of classic European patents can decide now if their patent will be litigated in the UPC or withdraw from it. Here, Jules Fabre and Sarah Taylor, lawyers at Pinsent Masons, detail some…
Here, Edward C Tidswell, Executive Director Quality Assurance at Merck & Co, Inc., discusses the microbiology challenges for industry, pharmaceutical companies and microbiologists themselves.
The detection and identification of bacteria is essential for biopharmaceutical production, the assessment of new antimicrobials and assessing contamination control measures. Developing methods for complex environments is challenging due to interference from the various molecules present. Here, pharmaceutical microbiologist and contamination control expert Dr Tim Sandle explains how Raman spectroscopy…
Here, Dave Elder explores how a ‘quick-approval, quick-withdrawal from the market’ approach is used to accelerate drug development.
In this article, EPR’s Caroline Peachey speaks to Talat Imran, CEO of Rani Therapeutics, about progress towards oral delivery of biologics using robotic capsules.
Here, Ahmad Amini and Johan Carlsson from the Swedish Medical Products Agency discuss the use of matrix‑assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for identification of lithium in pharmaceutical preparations.
This interview with Dr Marie Izac, Vaccine Drug Substance Unit Head at Sanofi Pasteur, elaborates on the use of process analytical technology – and specifically mass spectrometry – for continuous respiratory gas analysis.
In this Q&A Miriam Guest, Principal Microbiologist at AstraZeneca UK, discusses trends in bacterial endotoxin testing, as well as factors to consider when looking to implement rapid methods.
