Innovative approaches for granulation, coating & drying

Tue/Wed/Thu 26 - 28 September 2006

Background

Following the recommendation of the recent PAT
initiative of the FDA, the concerned industries are
supposed to better the quality of the present
manufacturing methods by a sound science-based
understanding of all unit operations. Product quality is
supposed to be designed a priori as stipulated by the
FDA slogan ”Do it right the first time”. If quality is to be
build into the products, we can no longer rely o­n the
empirical know-how of the manufacturing artists, but
have to control all possible interactions of the process
parameters.
Today, having available sophisticated o­n-line control
instruments and process simulation computer tools,
we are technically better equipped than ever before.
This workshop is supposed to show innovative
approaches for building quality into products.

Who should attend

Researchers, formulators, production managers and
quality managers from the industries concerned.
