The authors discuss the advantages of microreactors and flow chemistry for various reaction types in achieving improved process economics and reaction efficiency. This article is part of PharmTech's ...

Companies choose manufacturing processes -- such as job order, batch process, assembly line and continuous process -- based in part on the level of product individualization allowed. Manufacturers use ...

The requirements of a granule drying process haven?t really changed much in recent years: pharmaceutical companies still need a process/technology that is capable of drying the produced granules as ...

Using continuous processing instead of batch-based processing provides therapeutic manufacturers with a number of advantages. For example, the continuous approach can ...

Batch process scheduling and optimisation is a critical area of research that addresses the timing, sequencing, and allocation of production tasks in industries where manufacturing is carried out in ...

At the just completed BioProcess International Conference in Boston, a number of sessions focused on the Bioprocess 4.0 trend toward continuous bioprocessing operations. Akshat Mullerpatan, PhD, ...

A modern pharmaceutical manufacturing plant looks a lot like a classical chemistry lab. As has been the case for more than a century, most drugs that come out of these factories are made via stepwise ...

A handful of companies have done pioneering work with continuous manufacturing, the production process that is faster, cheaper and less prone to the kinds of manufacturing mess-ups that worry the FDA.

ISA106 started with the goal of developing standards, recommended practices, and technical reports on the design and implementation of procedures for automating continuous process operations. The ...
