The development of nanoparticles (NPs) as drug carriers for specific action sites has gained significant attention in recent times. However, the synthesis of NPs for drug delivery is complex and challenging, and therefore requires consistent, low-cost, and efficient materials. Particle Works offers NP synthesis solutions that are underpinned by microfluidics and automation, enabling researchers to accelerate their nanomedicine development. The Automated Nanoparticle (ANP) System provides both automated process optimization and continuous manufacturing capabilities on a single platform. This system allows scientists to automatically optimize process parameters and generate test samples. Particle Works offers the ALiS System for screening low volumes of various formulations in a 96-well plate format, while the ANP System is used to optimize the size, shape and structure of NPs ahead of final production and commercialization. The ANP System can be used initially in ’protocol mode’, where the system can sequentially execute a table of automated and low volume experiments from a fixed pair of injected reagents. Using the Flow Control Centre (FCC) software, users can optimize the flow rate ratio (FRR), total flow rate (TFR), NP precursor volume, sample collection volume, and select optional in-line dilution. Once a desired set of experimental conditions has been identified, the user can then switch to ‘continuous mode’ to create liters of NPs for pre-clinical trials and extensive characterization. Unique in this dual capability, the ANP System bridges the gap between formulation screening and commercial scale manufacturing in a single system solution.

Identifying and nurturing Digital Opinion Leaders (DOLs) has become as critical as the role of Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in increasing ‘share of voice’ in the market. Medical affairs and publication planning teams have traditionally been responsible for increasing ‘share of voice, usually by reaching out to Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs). While this hasn’t changed, who you need to reach - and how - has. The influence of KOLs remains important, but tends to be focused on ‘offline’ activities. Meanwhile, Digital Opinion Leaders (DOLs) have gained more power to influence the groups that matter to pharmaceutical companies, with a much wider social reach than KOLs. Digital Opinion Leaders are driving health policy decisions, and even shaping brands before a product has launched by: Initiating online conversations Reviewing opinions Responding to comments Exerting influence over peers, patients and others in the industry We estimate that there is currently only a 10 percent overlap between KOLs and DOLs. This is because in general they have presence in different spheres with different audiences. To engage DOLs, medical affairs and publication planning teams must learn what topics a DOL is passionate about, what channels they engage with and what information they are asking for. In Altmetric's latest report 'Building a bigger picture: the Altmetric advantage' we examine:': The rise of the Digital Opinion Leader How to measure share of voice in a digital age How to measure value and maximise research Tracking and measuring conversations on digital platforms is vital to measuring your brand’s influence.

Overcoming Pharma’s Top 6 Quality and Compliance Oversights Benefits of Platform Integration and Iterative Task Automation For companies doing business in the heavily regulated pharmaceutical industry, quality management and compliance are not just intimidating endeavors — they involve activities that are increasing in complexity as the industry accelerates. Quality successes can only be achieved in the modern regulatory environment when an extensive range of variables are continually monitored and appropriately handled. The prevention of quality oversights — whether they occur during document control activities, corrective action/preventive action (CAPA) management, audit initiatives, supplier relationships, or any other quality-related process — demands precise actions, informed decision-making, and connected processes, all of which can only be realistically achieved in accordance with regulatory requirements by using purpose-built digital solutions. Avoiding Quality and Compliance Oversights This brief presents six common quality and compliance missteps that pharma companies either inadvertently enable or unknowingly perpetuate over time. It also recommends actions organizations can take today to help mitigate the long-and short-term problems caused by each oversight. Oversight #1: Failure to Adapt to Regulators’ Risk-Based Approach to Quality Over the past decade, the regulations and standards that affect pharmaceutical companies have been trending toward a greater focus on risk management and risk-based thinking, a shift that has undoubtedly been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. With each update to an existing standard or new regulation that goes into effect, regulatory agencies are placing more emphasis on risk management and mitigation. Regulators across the globe are shifting from what was once a one-size-fits-all regulatory mentality to a more segmented approach that is primarily driven by data. This compliance trend is expected to become more prevalent, as indicated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Q9 Quality Risk Management guidance which specifies that greater assurance of a company’s ability to deal with potential risks “might affect the extent and level of direct regulatory oversight.”i As the role of good quality data (and auditors’ access to it) becomes increasingly vital to the enforcement of regulatory policies, effective risk management is emerging as the cornerstone of compliance. But risk-based quality management isn’t just important for compliance reasons — it is essential for neutralizing the effects (and potential effects) of quality events that commonly occur in pharma environments.

Given that it can take up to 12 years and cost £400 mn to £1.15 bn¹ to bring a new drug to market, it is understandable that organizations are capitalizing on the benefits of new technologies to try to reduce uncertainty, costs, and time to market. For many leading companies, digital applications are informing direction and becoming an essential enabler in realizing their vision. So why are digital applications transforming the value and access functions? We believe that there are three key benefits for market access. Facilitating proactive planning and agility While companies may already have a market access planning process, digital applications can facilitate a proactive approach by providing a structured checklist of activities and identifying vital gaps mapped against the latest HTA requirements. In addition, tasks can be assigned, alerts raised when items have not been addressed, and progress or completed tasks tracked. This provides confidence that a market access plan can be formulated early, is always current, and can adapted whenever there is a business need to change direction. Improving real-time decision-making and accelerating cross-functional productivity Digital applications and cloud technology can provide a consistent framework for real-time decision-making across the multifunctional groups that feed into market access planning and implementation. From as early as Phase 1 development, market access issues can be captured, the risks and benefits of considerations such as parallel consultation defined, and the requirements for HTA submissions considered. Capturing data in a centralized system provides an institutional memory of decision-making and allows more rapid and efficient cross-functional working.

Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) is not a new concept, but it has been growing in importance. The theory is that SRM helps enterprises drive value in both recessionary periods – like that of the last few years – by enabling cost reductions, and also in high growth phases by supporting increases in market share. The reality, however, is that very few organizations have seen demonstrable results from SRM programs – very few of these initiatives are truly effective or sustainable, primarily due to poor strategy and execution.
Titration Theory and Practice
White Paper: Mettler Toledo
Titration is the method of analyzing the concentration of an unknown substance in a solution with the help of a titrant of known concentration based on the complete chemical reaction that occurs between the unknown substance and the titrant. It is one of the widely used laboratory technique of quantitative chemical analysis in the fields of chemical, electronic, food and beverage industries. The titration theory is determined by the type of the chemical reaction that occurs in the different titration process which is then monitored through a color indicator or potentiometric principle and a distinction between endpoint and equivalence point is made to establish the concentration of the unknown substance. Key takeaways from this white paper: Titration is a well-established analytic technique with higher precision and accuracy. It also provides good price and performance ratio compared to other techniques. Distinct differences between automated titration and manual titration are established. A complete guide for Karl Fisher’s titration process is provided in details. Detailed understanding of titration components and process.

The understanding of behavior process of weighing devices is known as calibration. A weighing instrument can be calibrated without making adjustments. Calibration certificates have passed and failed sections to determine whether a measurement device is working ‘well enough’ with the help of tolerance. Standards weights are defined for particular units as test weight. The relationship between the known value and the measured value helps in understanding the behavior of the weighing instrument. Key takeaways from this white paper: Calibration is not the same as an adjustment. The calibration process can be done without adjustments. Tolerance is gathered from a variety of sources and the correct tolerance does not exist. Measurement uncertainty determines the difference between actual value and the measured value. Calculation of measurement uncertainties helps in determining the minimum weight. The relative measurement uncertainty is smaller than the weighing tolerance requirement during weighing more than the minimum weight.
