Production Systems

Articles should focus on the full range and scope of unit operations and production steps for manufacturing APIs, both small molecule and biologic pharmaceuticals, the building and critical process utility systems that support the manufacturing process, as well as the means of managing, dynamically controlling, and automating manufacturing and warehousing operations. Articles could highlight production unit operations, management, and control.

Evaluating In-line Volume Reduction During mAb Production
In-line concentration solves problems found in mAb production, including insufficient storage capacity and process tank volumes, extended processing times, and large hold-up loop volumes for ultrafiltration concentration. It optimizes the ion-exchange step following capture, reduces costs and...

Statistical Approach for CU Testing CPV Batches & Comparison with USP <905> UDU
The USP &lt;905&gt; UDU test, widely used for batch release since 2007, is no longer supported by FDA. We propose a two-sided tolerance interval method to alleviate this deficiency. The approach provides 50% confidence and 95% probability that future samples from the batch will conform to USP...
