Excipients

Pharmaceutical excipients, which can be functional or inactive ingredients, work to enhance the medically relevant properties of the API. When used to promote ingredient qualities, excipients can be an asset for formulators to increase stability, bulk up the formulation, or enhance the therapeutic effects of the API. Below you can explore helpful resources including editorial coverage and webinars related to pharmaceutical excipients.

  • From TB to Today – An Evolution of Public Health

    The human body is pretty amazing. It can heal itself, adapt to change, and provide mechanisms to rid itself of bad stuff. Of course, there are many instances when the body needs help, and medicines step in to take care of what the body can’t. Our current technologies to fight disease and sickness are truly amazing. I only need to refer you to ... read more

  • Comparison of Optical Spectroscopy Techniques for Pharmaceutical Analysis

    The optical spectroscopy toolbox contains a large variety of methods that exploit light-matter interactions such as absorption, emission, and scattering phenomena across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. This work aims at giving an overview of the available techniques and their potential applications for product and process analysis in the ... read more

  • CIP Failures Due to Biofilm Formation: Strategies for Prevention and Remediation

    The aim of a Clean-in-Place (CIP) system is to remove all undesirable materials from product contact surfaces to a level such that residues remaining are of minimal risk to the safety or quality of the product. While the general focus is on the removal of product residues or chemical residues, there is often a microbial control element involved. ... read more

  • Comparing an Inspection by a Regulator to an Investigation by a Pharma Company

    Recently, there has been an increased focus on contamination control activities for pharmaceuticals due to updated requirements in the European Union’s Annex 1 Update. (EU, 2022). The recent update of Annex 1 (ISO 14644-1, 2022) has specified the need for a contamination control strategy for both sterile and non-sterile products. Recently, a ... read more
