Lyophilization model can help optimize freeze-drying steps for continuous manufacturing processes, according to MIT researchers.

Historically, pharmaceutical products have been produced in a traditional ‘batch’ system, in which every operation is executed separately using a defined quantity of materials. In batch manufacturing ...

In the manufacture of biotherapeutic drugs, the goal is to maximize production while minimizing costs, even though achieving this goal may involve a difficult transition—specifically, a transition ...

A handful of companies have done pioneering work with continuous manufacturing, the production process that is faster, cheaper and less prone to the kinds of manufacturing mess-ups that worry the FDA.

“They need a conveyor,” said the guy on my left as we observed the assembly process. Operators walked back and forth from the assembly station to bring finished parts to the shelf and to get ...

ISA106 started with the goal of developing standards, recommended practices, and technical reports on the design and implementation of procedures for automating continuous process operations. The ...
