Anytime PQR is the new way of generating APQR by automating the reports anytime in 3 easy steps. Now make the entire process system driven with CaliberAPQR.
Innovation forms the basis of every emerging technology. That is certainly the case with cell and gene therapies (CGTs), and the search for efficient quality control (QC) test methods continues to grow in this pharmaceutical sector. One of the most important factors to consider while deciding on a QC method…
Despite the promise of biofluorescent particle counters (BFPCs) as an alternative and rapid microbiological method and process analytical technology, their implementation thus far has predominantly occurred in non-GMP environments. In this article, EPR’s Hannah Balfour explores the reasons, with comment from Mike Russ, Senior Manager, Head of QCLS/Analytical Science and…
Given industry's recent focus on the sustainability of bacterial endotoxin testing (BET), here, AstraZeneca colleagues Miriam Guest, Karen Capper, Dennis Wong and Phil Duncanson share how they worked to establish a short-, mid- and long-term strategy to optimise BET across the global enterprise. They also explore some of the short-term…
Features in this in-depth focus explore the development of a sustainable approach to bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) within a global enterprise, as well as progress towards the use of biofluorescent particle counters for water bioburden applications.
In EPR Issue 4, experts discuss implementing a global strategy to improve the sustainability of endotoxin testing, how to accelerate timelines for manufacture of multi-specific antibodies and the potential of oncolytic viruses as a therapy for glioblastoma. Also featured: progress towards smart vaccine manufacturing, an update on edible anticounterfeiting technology,…
Here AMR Industry Alliance representatives Melissa Gong Mitchell and Steve Brooks discuss how the Alliance is mobilising the life sciences sector in combatting antimicrobial resistance (AMR). They present the newly established antibiotics manufacturing standard that aims to minimise pharma’s contribution to AMR in the environment, considering the critical considerations and…
Why do pharmaceutical manufacturers still believe older methods are reliable for quality testing when there’s superior technology available on the market?
Here, EPR summarises a paper that asks whether cleanroom sanitisation procedures are adequate, discussing the emerging problem of microbial resistance to disinfectants.
Here, EPR summarises the microbial contamination concerns that may arise from aging facilities presented in an article by Tim Sandle.
