Raising Expectations Of Excipients
By Fred Monsuur, Business Segment Leader Excipients Europe,
Julia Poncher, Grace

An excipient’s role has traditionally been viewed as merely a filler or binder contributing to the stability of the end product. The full value that a formulation can bring to a final dosage form, or the real importance of ensuring an excipient's quality and performance, are often underestimated, overlooked, misunderstood, or disregarded. In reality, the functionality of the excipient can help determine whether or not a drug succeeds or fails.


Management Of Fluid Transfer In Single-Use Systems
Chris McBride, Product Manager and Donna Riedman, Project Leader, Pall Life Sciences - BioPharmaceuticals
When designing a single-use process containing many unit operations, the initial focus of attention is often the compounding and purification steps involving process equipment such as bioreactors, mixers, tangential flow filters for concentration/diafilitration, and direct flow filters for particle or bioburden reduction or sterilization.

Spotlight On Downstream Processing

Providing Sterility Assurance Between Single-Use And Stainless Systems
As numerous biopharmaceutical manufacturers have gained firsthand experience with the benefits of incorporating single-use systems into their facilities, they are looking to expand use in both up-stream and down-stream applications.


Flexible Containment Solutions Guide: Coaxial Neck DoverPac®
Given the increase in highly potent API manufacturing, the use of the Coaxial Neck DoverPac system, with either rigid isolators or flexible enclosures, is a complementary processing option.


Vydac® 150HC Purification Media: Greater Loading Capacity And Resolution For Improved Productivity In Peptide Purification
Peptide therapeutics have been recognized as delivering the best of both worlds in terms of small molecule synthesis efficiency and biologics efficacy and reduced toxicity. However, challenges in mass production and low oral availability have historically made them less than ideal drug candidates.
