On July 10th, Oksana Olkhovyk, Ph.D., Senior Scientist at Gateway Analytical hosted a webinar designed for scientists working to develop various pharmaceutical drug products. During this webinar, we discussed how Raman Chemical Imaging (RCI) is an effective tool that can be used to identify agglomerates by their chemical makeup in various drug formulations, and how it can benefit developers of OINDPs such as nasal spray suspensions, dry powder inhalers (DPIs), metered dosed inhalers (MDIs), as well as semi-solids: topical creams, emulsions and gels. We also discussed the validation of the RCI method to objectively and precisely evaluate the extent and size of drug to drug or drug to excipient aggregates and compare it to other methods for identifying agglomerates including, optical microscopy, Anderson Cascade Impaction, Raman Microscopy and Confocal Spectroscopy.

On May 14th, Rebekah Byrne, Scientist I and David Exline, Senior Vice President at Gateway Analytical hosted a webinar designed for developers of parenteral drug products. During this webinar, our presenters identified commonly found contaminants in parenteral drug products, how these contaminants are introduced into the manufacturing process, how they can be detected both visibly and non-visibly and laboratory techniques used to identify contaminates. They provided insight into terminology used when discussing parenteral contamination including the difference between particle-free vs. sterile and the standards for visual inspection. They also discussed the importance of taking a pro-active approach to quickly source and manage contaminant issues in the manufacturing process to reduce the risk of future contamination and potentially save your company money by preventing potential recalls.
