Using online mass spectrometry to predict the end point during drying of pharmaceutical products
Contributor(s):: Dodda, Aditya G., Saranteas, Kostas, Henson, Michael A.
Drying of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is an energy-intensive process that is often a manufacturing bottleneck due to the relatively long processing times. A key objective is the ability to determine the drying end point, the time at which all solvent has been evaporated from the...

Understanding API Static Drying with Hot Gas Flow: Design and Test of a Drying Rig Prototype and Drying Modeling Development
Contributor(s):: Ottoboni, S, Coleman, SJSteven, C, Siddique, M, Fraissinet, M, Joannes, M, Laux, A, Barton, A, Firth, P, Price, CJ, Mulheran, PA
Developing a continuous isolation process to produce a pure, dry, free-flowing active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is the final barrier to the implementation of continuous end-to-end pharmaceutical manufacturing. Recent work has led to the development of continuous filtration and washing...
