Agenda API Manufacture
Reaction monitoring Crystallisation Drying
Drug product manufacture Granule dying - fluid bed dryers Blending Compression - PQRI recommendations
Benefits Control, knowledge, quality and costs
No samplingNo operator exposureAccurate end pointControl of impurities
The profile was generated using peak heights referenced to a 2-point baseline,producing the following curves.
Blue - Step (starting material, 1 ) at 2239 cm-1
Red – Step (starting material, 1) at 930 cm-1
Green – Step (product, 2) at 1308 cm-1

Benefits of Improved Control
Conventional methods give product which is fit for intended use, but…
Advanced control gives better batch to batch consistency better quality (less impurities) fewer reworks/rejects improved process understanding faster response times better productivity lower cost
