IMPURITIES DETECTION – Impurities Detection in Pharmaceuticals
Kevin P. Menard, PhD, focuses on the detection of residual solvents from processing and small levels of contaminates leached from containers.
SPECIAL FEATURE – Analytical Instrumentation Gets Faster, Smaller, and Easier to Use
Contributor Cindy H. Dubin learns that one doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to use analytical instrumentation. Three leading players in the market showcase their products, all aimed at making analysis easier and faster.
ANALYTICAL TESTING – Improvements in Characterization of Pharmaceuticals: Fast Scanning Rate DSC Methods
Kevin P. Menard, PhD, MBA, says fast scanning rate DSC represents a recent and underutilized technique for the characterization of pharmaceutical materials and highlights several of the more common applications.
ANALYTICAL TESTING – Analytical Tools & Techniques in Hot Melt Extrusion & Case Studies on Formulation Development & Process Scale-Up
Tony Listro, MS, MBA; Mike Borek, Michael Crowley, PhD, MBA; and Kathrin Nollenberger, PhD; review how a stepwise approach to characterizing formulation prototypes using microscopy, thermal analysis, spectroscopy, nonsink dissolution testing, and chromatography can be used to rapidly rank order formulations.
ANALYTICAL TESTING – Diffusion Kinetics & Permeation Concentration of Human SC Characterization by Terahertz Scanning Reflectometry
Anis Rahman, PhD; Scott Frenchek; Brian Kilfoyle; Leena Patterkine, PhD; Aunik Rahman; and Bozena Michniak- Kohn, PhD; use terahertz reflectometry and spectrometry to investigate the permeation kinetics and concentration profile of active ingredients into the stratum corneum.
FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT – Particle Sizing Across the Drug Development Cycle
Carl Levoguer, PhD, examines how laser diffraction technology has been fashioned to powerfully support every stage of the drug development cycle.
