At the just completed BioProcess International Conference in Boston, a number of sessions focused on the Bioprocess 4.0 trend toward continuous bioprocessing operations. Akshat Mullerpatan, PhD, ...

Companies choose manufacturing processes -- such as job order, batch process, assembly line and continuous process -- based in part on the level of product individualization allowed. Manufacturers use ...

Continuous manufacturing is finally gaining traction in the pharmaceutical industry, but development of the necessary production technologies is, fittingly, a continuous process. Ultimately, the drawn ...

Batch process scheduling and optimisation is a critical area of research that addresses the timing, sequencing, and allocation of production tasks in industries where manufacturing is carried out in ...

Continuous manufacturing and a quality-by-design development approach are a natural fit. FDA, as well as other regulatory agencies around the world, have for many years been encouraging drug makers to ...

The time has come to dispatch batch processing; welcome to pharma's continuous-processing era. That appears to be the consensus from last week's Interphex trade show. Use of process analytical ...

Research shows that digital transformation is the primary driver of automation technology spending across the discrete, batch, and continuous process industries. But which technologies get the most ...

Dr. Alain Favre-Réguillon graduated in 1996 from University of Lyon with a PhD in organic chemistry on extraction of radioactive caesium using functionalized crown-ethers and calixarenes. Subsequently ...

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.

“It’s called a BHAG,” says Hayden Thomas, divulging a term popular among chemical engineers at Vertex Pharmaceuticals, where Thomas is vice president of formulation development. “A big, hairy, ...
