Continued Process Verification (CPV), Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and Quality by Design (QbD), are driving pharma to improve product and process quality and efficiency.
Proportional valve technology in process automation offers a great a deal of flexibility and produces high-quality control results. A complete system supplied by Festo and installed in Boehringer Ingelheim's new technical centre demonstrates the performance that modern pneumatics can deliver. The project was developed in close communication between the Festo team and automation experts from the pharmaceutical company, allowing it to move forward quickly.
Today’s biotech and pharmaceutical production facilities must drive faster times to market and greater profitability for new products by boosting production yields and accelerating commercialization and scaling of capacity.
AstraZeneca is a global, science-led biopharmaceutical business. They are one of a handful of companies to span the entire life cycle of a medicine – from research and development to manufacturing and supply – as well as the global commercialization of primary care and specialty care medicines. Operating in more than 100 countries, AstraZeneca employs around 57,500 people worldwide. The company has manufacturing operations in 17 countries, and their innovative medicines are used by millions of patients worldwide.
As the demand for complex, portable medical devices continues to grow, reducing risk and increasing efficiency during the development of these products should be paramount.
At Metrics Contract Services, analytical services are the backbone of our company. With over 90 analytical chemists on staff — that’s four chemists for every formulator or manufacturing technician — and extensive equipment, you can be assured that there will never be a bottleneck in the analytical department.

Technology leader Anton Paar launches two new high-performance refractometers: Abbemat 450 and 650. The instruments combine extraordinary robustness with high precision up to ±0.00002 nD to measure the refractive index under harsh conditions.
The new Powder Cell from Anton Paar for the renowned MCR rheometer series brings the full array of traditional rheological methods to the field of powder. Now it is possible to simulate and determine powder flow under different conditions. This is important in the field of quality control, but also to investigate dry granular flow, especially in the fluidized or near-fluidized state. An MCR rheometer plus Powder Cell is the perfect combination for true rheological investigations of powders in quality control as well as research and development.
