Improved Production Yield through Computer Based Formulation / Recipe Weighing
28 May 2014The correct formulation and weighing procedures along with the centralized database and relevant documentation process one of the prerequisite to guaranteed consistent product quality, process safety and stability as well as to increased flexibility and productivity. This paper will address the benefits of investing in the formulation system as well as considerations that helps ensure the system enhances manufacturing process.

Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.Discovery SoftwareComputational techniques used in both the chemistry and biology aspects of drug discovery, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Software is used for analysis of pathways, target identification, genomics, proteomics, modelling, lead identification, compound analysis and drug modelling among many others. Drug DeliveryDrug Delivery refers to dosage form, route of administration, formulations, technologies, and systems for transporting a pharmaceutical compound in the body as needed to safely achieve its desired therapeutic effect. Drug delivery is often approached via the biopharmaceutical or small molecule drug's formulation, but it may also involve medical devices or drug-device combination products. Considerations include instrumentation, software and services. Shipping / PackagingPackaging is the technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use and the process and production of packages. Packaging is closely linked to Shipping and the preparing of goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use. Within the pharmaceutical industry packaging and shipping are used for transport, storage and logistics between Contract Research Organizations (CROs), Manufacturing and Clinical Trial companies. Packaging is also critical in the final production of a pharmaceutical product before market. Development SoftwareComputational techniques used in both the chemistry and biology aspects of drug development, for data acquisition, data analysis, processing and storage. Software is used for analysis of ADME results, toxicology, clinical trials and regulatory processes. RegulatoryPharmaceutical regulations impact on all areas of drug development, manufacture and control and supply. Services are provided from the early stages of drug development and clinical trials through to dossier submission, approval and marketing. Regulatory also includes submission of analytical studies from the pharmaceutical product and safety. FormulationFormulation is the process of combining active pharmaceutical ingredients with excipients to produce a drug which is both stable and active.BiopharmaceuticalsBiopharmaceuticals are proteins and other compounds (such as nucleic acids) produced by living organisms that have uses as therapeutics or for in vivo diagnostics. The most well known example of a biopharmaceutical product, and the first to be approved for therapeutic use, was recombinant human insulin.
