Predicting and measuring protein aggregation is a critical challenge in the formulation of biopharmaceuticals. This article describes an analytical tool that hits the ‘sweet spot’ of protein aggregation measurement

This article explains how dynamic light scattering (DLS) can be used to gather particle size distribution data for the successful use of nanosized colloidal gold in drug delivery applications.

Nominations for the 2017 Power List are now open and will close on February 1, 2017.

Isn’t it time to move with the times and relegate manual and outdated processes?

When an industry grows rapidly, innovative approaches are required to ensure sustainable growth. Here, we speak to leaders at Ireland’s National Institute for Bioprocess Research and Training – NIBRT – to find out how a focus on talent, training and technology is changing the face of the field.

After finally breaking into the US market, biosimilars have created a real buzz in the industry, but the best practice for demonstrating similarity can be daunting to say the least.

Automated image analysis has been combined with Raman spectroscopy to achieve component-specific size and shape analysis of active ingredients, supporting and accelerating the commercialization of both innovator and generic pharmaceutical products.

Which equipment can measure how the particle size delivered by a dry powder inhaler (DPI) changes as a function of applied air flow rate, providing a deagglomeration profile which can be used to compare the performance of different formulations in a device and improve drug delivery.

Particle agglomeration can compromise the clinical efficacy of pharmaceutical products and must therefore be closely controlled. This article provides practical guidance on using automated imaging for efficient agglomerate detection.
