  • Particle Size Analysis in Dry Powder Cell Culture Media Production

    Product testing is constantly evolving as underlying technologies improve. Particle size determination of comminuted powders – a vital element in dry powder cell culture media production – has existed in various forms for centuries, but modern improvements in the accuracy, range and reporting abilities of particle size analyzers (PSA) have extended our capabilities significantly. With the added accuracy and ease of use that comes with PSA equipment, the trend has been to incorporate these results into product specifications. Do these specifications really add value if there is no scientific backing of the results?

  • Storing and Thawing Serum

    Animal serum is an excellent source of nutrients for cells in culture because it contains proteins, lipids, salts, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other components necessary for growth. When stored and handled correctly, the performance characteristics of serum can be maintained for many years. Improperly storing and/or thawing serum products can decrease not only the immediate and long-term stability, but also their effectiveness.

  • An Introduction to High-Potent API Classification

    When dealing with highly potent compounds, it’s critical that failsafe procedures are in place relating to their handling, storage and containment. In order to ensure that the correct procedures are installed and adhered to, a logical system of classifying the potency of the High-Potent API (HPAPI) is needed. At present, there is no official guidance regarding the safe handling of highly potent APIs. As a result, the industry has begun self-regulating itself, with standards developed by SafeBridge® Consultants being the most widely recognized classification system.

  • SAFC Pharma-Multi-Purpose Microreactors-A Fast Track to Optimized Processes-2009

    Standard batch reactors have long been the workhorse for chemical ingredient and intermediate manufacturing and, although their use is well understood, they do have a number of performance drawbacks and limitations such as poor mixing, limited heat transfer capabilities, and lengthy scale-up phases. These limitations have led to the evaluation of alternative production methods with microreactors, in many instances, offering a more effective solution for chemical manufacture and great potential as a ‘fast track’ to optimized processes.
