The Challenges Batch And Continuous Manufacturing Bring To Containment Product Design

Methods and techniques used in pharmaceutical manufacturing are broadly reviewed. There are two basic models of pharma manufacturing: batch and continuous. Both approaches are defined. It is concluded that both approaches have elements of the other. Generally speaking, many pharma manufacturing procedures are transitioning from the batch to the continuous approach.

Based on this finding, it becomes self-evident that basic containment devices used in either manufacturing approach should be adaptable to the other.
