Drug developers know that processes which operate in a defined design space can be made more consistent, safer and less prone to deviation. At Neuland, process development begins in the…
The idea of gaining – and maintaining – adequate process control during drug synthesis isn’t new. It underscores the entire point of approaches such as Quality by Design (QbD), and…
Why is there a growing preoccupation with particle size? It’s because particle size can alter the efficacy (e.g., bioavailability) and safety profile (e.g., toxicity) of a compound. Complex particle sizing…
With the global population continuing to both increase and age, pharma industry growth is likely to continue. While facing pricing hurdles in well-established mature markets, the emerging drug markets (China,…
In our PE Lab, a team of 27 highly specialized engineers integrates the key attributes of QbD process understanding, process control, and continuous improvement with advanced equipment, Design of Experiments…
In recent posts on the topic of Quality by Design and drug manufacturing, we referenced (here, here and here) the importance of being able to reduce unanticipated challenges by developing…
In a PharmTech webcast, the Neuland team linked up with Dr. San Kiang – Research Professor from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Rutgers University. The objective was a discussion…
Earlier this month we wrote a piece on the Five Challenges Scaling Up an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API). In the post’s conclusion, we discussed the role of QbD in aiding…
Neuland has recently welcomed the addition of a new, dedicated Process Engineering Lab to its R&D Center. The lab opened in March, and supports operations and safety studies via a…
In today’s pharmaceutical industry, Quality by Design (QbD) has become an essential – instead of optional – tool. In fact, the phrase, “essential instead of optional” reminds me of the…
