Enhancing manufacturing with process analytical technology (PAT) in 2025

17 April 2025

2:00pm

During this virtual panel, industry experts will explore the latest developments and biggest challenges in process analytical technology (PAT) today.

In the pharmaceutical industry, PAT can help enhance process understanding as well as product quality.

PAT tools utilising techniques such as spectroscopy and chromatography, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), applied inline, online and at-line, are beneficial for monitoring and controlling critical parameters during manufacturing. For instance, PAT is valuable asset in QbD-based manufacturing.

Spectroscopic methods like near infrared (NIR), Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy offer advantages in pharmaceutical manufacturing, for example, as sample collection or manipulation is not necessary. NMR for example is crucial for determining molecular structures and identifying drug metabolites. Yet key challenges are still present despite major progress over the last ten years, preventing regular implementation of this technology.

Hear speakers share their own experience on best practice when incorporating PAT to aid pharmaceutical processes. The session will cover applications of the technology, innovative PAT tools, as well as addressing obstacles to its broader adoption in the pharmaceutical industry. 

Key learning points: 

  • Find out how PAT is being applied in pharmaceutical manufacturing in 2025
  • How PAT can enhance manufacturing, lower costs and optimise product quality
  • Using spectroscopic tools, including NMR, to monitor critical quality attributes (CQA)
  • The latest developments in PAT and its future potential in the pharmaceutical industry
