PROCESS ANALYTICAL TECHNOLOGY

Abstract :
In an ideally regulated manufacturing industry, when a process is launched, its progress should be easily monitored and controlled until that process is completed. This means that at any given time, the condition and the quality of the product with respect to yield are transparent and known. This knowledge is lacking in current pharmaceutical manufacturing due to a lack of information feedback during the manufacturing process. This knowledge gap can be addressed by PAT solutions that report the condition of a product in real-time and facilitate the introduction of a feedback loop to control a process based on the reported parameters. Such an approach allows to test quality of the product at different manufacturing stages to ensure quality by design (QbD) from raw materials to intermediate, and to the final drug product.
