  • Best Practices For Process Scale Column Packing Of CHT™ Ceramic Hydroxyapatite Media

    CHT ceramic hydroxyapatite media require specific considerations during process-scale chromatography packing due to high specific gravity, rapid settling rate, and sensitivity to mechanical shear.

  • The Challenge of Measuring Total Organic Carbon In Modern Pharmaceutical Water Systems

    Total Organic Carbon (TOC) is one of the quality attributes defined in the European and USA pharmacopoeias for pharmaceutical waters. Modern water treatment systems can deliver such high purity water that TOC levels can be consistently close to zero and very difficult to measure with any accuracy. This paper discusses some of the challenges when using TOC analysers to demonstrate pharmacopoeial TOC level compliance for modern water systems in the light of the ICH Q2 document from the International Conference on Harmonisation.

  • Determination Of kLa Values Of Single-Use Bioreactors

    Because single use bioreactors offered by  manufacturers vary in parameters critical for oxygen transfer, they are often not comparable to each other and to conventional glass and stainless steel vessels.

  • White Paper: Computrac® Moisture Analysis Made Simple When people aren’t feeling their best they often turn to medicine for relief from the symptoms that are associated with being ill. The public trusts that the products by pharmaceutical companies will not only make them feel better but will also not have harmful side effects.
  • Compound Profiling And Toxicity

    Utilizing a systems approach to drug discovery has generated a multitude of high affinity compounds for various classes of molecular targets with different degrees of disease state validation.

  • Metal Removal From Fine Chemical Products

    Metal contamination in various injectable or even oral medicines is a serious concern.
