Complete answers facilitate PAT implementation

'Complete Solutions to Facilitate PAT Implementation' gives pharmaceutical companies a complete guide on help through each stage of Process Analytical Technology.

Thermo Electron Corporation unveils a new brochure, 'Complete Solutions to Facilitate PAT Implementation', highlighting the full breadth of its Process Analytical Technology (PAT) expertise. The brochure covers Thermo's comprehensive range of pharmaceutical analytical instrumentation, extensive capabilities in process monitoring control, complete data management tools, worldwide technical support and regulatory compliance products for PAT execution. This gives pharmaceutical companies a complete guide on how Thermo can help through each stage of a PAT implementation.

Tailored PAT consultancy programs designed to achieve maximum business benefits are also described.

PAT is a revolution in the pharmaceutical industry initiated by the FDA to reduce the risk of making a poor product and pharmaceutical companies will be better equipped to exploit the full benefits of PAT by establishing a partnership with a highly capable and experienced vendor.

PAT is designed to increase process efficiencies and design product quality into the process, rather than testing it in.

Its impact spans drug and product development through to routine manufacturing of the active pharmaceutical ingredient and the finished medicine.

A pharmaceutical process flow chart in the brochure illustrates how Thermo works with pharmaceutical companies throughout the entire manufacturing process to minimize the risks to their PAT implementations with a combination of key skills and technologies.

Thermo's PAT capabilities include rugged FT-NIR analyzers designed for pharmaceutical manufacturing, informatics management programs, validation services, process analyzers and integration tools and chemometric modeling software.

Thermo also offers comprehensive support solutions through the Multi-Vendor Compliance Solutions (MVC) program.

The brochure highlights key products and their PAT applications including material identification and qualification, blending, drying, content uniformity analysis and more.
