The 2020 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo will be ISPE’s first completely virtual Annual Meeting. As always, there will be great learning and networking opportunities—in fact, the digital format offers greater flexibility for attendees.
Each year, ISPE celebrates innovations and advances in pharmaceutical manufacturing technology with its Facility of the Year Awards (FOYA) program. This year, we added a new category, Social Impact, to recognize companies that developed new standards and practices to prevent drug shortages and increase patients’ access to medicine, designed new tools or techniques that reduced the cost of drug products, or accelerated a shift to sustainable facility design that has significantly reduced environmental impact.
At first glance, ready-to-use (RTU) primary packaging material (tub systems) give production lines more flexibility and reduce container preparation complexity for aseptic fill/finish operations. However, the aseptic introduction of RTU tub systems requires a thoroughly designed transfer process to avoid contamination of the sterile RTU items and the aseptic core.
Walk-on ceilings are one of the more complex architectural features in controlled environments, requiring careful design and robust construction. GCS, a leader in cleanroom panels, explores the challenges, design considerations, and essential features of world-class walk-on ceilings for cleanrooms.
In this point of view, Life Sciences greenfield builds, Capgemini’s life sciences manufacturing experts explores how greenfield builds—projects where facilities are constructed wholly or mostly from scratch—are helping organizations scale up production capacity, meet evolving regulatory requirements, and integrate pharma 4.0 initiatives. You’ll learn why greenfield sites are fast becoming a...
