Sustainability in processing and packaging technology; Technological solutions for ecological challenges The article analyses current ways of the pharma industry to make for more sustainable packaging and manufacturing processes, from utilising biodegradable plastics and fibre-based packaging to integrating energy-saving process equipment into their manufacturing lines. Further, the article takes a deep dive into how connected industry solutions can help reduce and optimize energy consumption.
Dr. Ing. Carsten Weiß Vice President Engineering Bosch Packaging Technology 8 ◄ June 2018
I
ncreasing urbanization, smaller household sizes and an ageing population are fundamentally changing the expectations for food and pharmaceutical packaging. At the same time, there is a growing need for more sustainable packaging solutions and processes. But according to Carsten Weiß, Vice President Engineering at Bosch Packaging Technology, no single company can rise to this challenge alone. In order to develop packaging concepts that are both truly sustainable and appealing to consumers, manufacturers, material and packaging suppliers, as well as mechanical engineering and waste management companies need to join forces.
the circular economy. There is a greater demand for packages that are “designed for recycling”, for example by using easily separable materials, mono-material packaging, and renewable materials. But what good does the most environmentally friendly packaging design do if it is not compatible with processing and packaging machinery? Or if the process steps involved in its manufacturing, filling, packaging and disposal involve much higher energy consumption? All parties involved in the production and supply chain have to work together to devise more sustainable solutions. The outcomes of key initiatives like Save Food, CEFLEX and European Bioplastics can offer valuable insights into future needs.
In the majority of industrialized nations, the “Supersize Me” mentality is now a thing of the past. Given the demographic change and more responsible consumer behavior, the current trend is toward smaller portions. This can also be seen in the growing demand for convenience and on-the-go products. In many growth markets, small portions are also the number one choice due to consumers’ limited financial resources. As a result, packaging sizes are becoming smaller, yet the number of individual packages is constantly on the rise. Although the sense of environmental responsibility among the general public is improving, every year more than eight million metric tons of plastic litter find their way into the ocean, due in part to insufficiently established or poorly implemented waste disposal processes. According to figures from the UN, this amounts to roughly one garbage-truck load per minute. In parallel, more and more effort is being put into the development of sustainable packaging and environmentally friendlier manufacturing processes.
On the lookout for new packaging concepts
In the future, there will be a greater focus on fulfilling the requirements of
Some of the most important trends on the packaging market include the further development of conventional materials, research into new combinations of materials, and the introduction of more efficient processes. In this regard, various parties are already working hand in hand to find new solutions that reflect the spirit of sustainability. When it comes to achieving these goals, expertise from disparate, not directly related fields can be vital. For example, the automotive industry has been investing heavily in optimizing materials and processes for the past several years. With regard to products with extremely high barrier requirements, like battery cells, the spotlight is on optimizing flexible packaging materials. Lessons learned from these efforts can – provided they are available – be directly applied to the development of new packaging solutions and production concepts for food and pharmaceuticals. Many research activities focus on the development of bio-based or biodegradable plastics that satisfy the requirements for food packaging. BioPharma Bio World
Figure 1: Bosch Packaging Technology is investing in new technical solutions to ensure more sustainability in processing and packaging engineering. based plastics often offer a better CO 2 balance than conventional plastics. Biodegradable plastics are particularly advantageous if they can easily be broken down by microorganisms. Compostable materials are an especially good choice for food packaging where the product and its packaging often enter the waste disposal cycle together – as is the case with coffee capsules or teabags. Nonetheless, biodegradable plastics do not represent a cure-all for the pollution of our environment and oceans: as they break down, carbon dioxide, water and methane are released. Methane has a much more higher effect on global warming than CO 2, which is why it is burned to CO 2 and H 2O at managed waste disposal plants. Biodegradable plastics that are additionally bio-based offer a much better CO 2 balance, while those that are based on renewable raw materials can produce other negative environmental impacts, including eutrophication, increased soil acidity, and air pollutants. Generally speaking, rapidly degradable plastics are particularly advantageous for the environment when they are “marine degradable,” that is when they break down in seawater. Needless to say, it should 10 ◄ June 2018
still be our goal to reduce the amount of marine litter to a minimum; in this context, good recycling solutions and smoothly running disposal systems are elementary. First concepts already put into practice Companies are also working intensively on new concepts in the area of fiber-based packages, so as to satisfy the circular economy’s criteria for recyclability and the use of renewable materials without compromising product protection. For example, the first sealed paper packaging consists of mono-material paper instead of polymer film, making it completely recyclable. It is suitable for dry food like sugar, pasta, cereal or powder. Until recently, packaging products in monomaterial paper was only possible with glued, premanufactured bags or with glued paper packaging produced by mandrelwheel systems. With the new solution, food products can now also be packaged and sealed with vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machines, which translates into higher flexibility concerning the choice of format and packing style. Moreover, VFFS sealing delivers improved product protection and dust tightness. Thanks to
the use of FSC- or PEFC-certified paper, this approach is truly sustainable – from the raw material to recycling – and offers a viable alternative to plastic for products with low barrier requirements. In addition to mono-material packaging and compatibility with VFFS machines, additional future applications are imaginable. By suitably modifying current packages, the number of different materials needed could be reduced. Also, the increasingly stringent barrier requirements for product protection could be satisfied. However, a good deal of further development work will be needed to keep costs low while achieving a high degree of product protection and environmental protection, as a recent analysis (see graphic 1) shows. While the majority of materials are out of the question for use in the pharmaceutical industry due to the extremely high standards for product protection, the food segment also often has to sacrifice shelf life for the sake of higher sustainability. Accordingly, all parties involved will continue to have their hands full trying to optimally reconcile packaging requirements, cost efficiency and environmental protection. Pharma Bio World

Figure 2: The first sealed paper packaging consists of mono-material paper instead of polymer film, making it completely recyclable. Although the pharmaceutical industry faces more complex challenges given the high barrier requirements for its products, some secondary packaging concepts are already available that may prove to be visionary. When it comes to fragile products like syringes, vials and ampoules, as well as applicators such as insulin pens, conventionally a mix of materials has been used to ensure their safety. However, a new, tray folding carton made entirely of cardboard and featuring variable inlays could offer an alternative solution. Thanks to the use of a single packaging material, there is no more need for plastic trays. Consequently, there is also no need to separate different classes of materials during recycling, which translates into better sorting and more efficient recycling outcomes. 12 â—„ June 2018
Energy recovery during ongoing processes Conserving resources is another key aspect of sustainability in the processing and packaging industry. In the energyintensive pharmaceutical industry, for example, innovative energy recovery concepts are yielding significant savings. In the sterilization process, heating and cooling energy are recovered, which can mean up to 40 percent lower heating costs and 60 percent lower cooling costs. When it comes to ultra pure steam generation and distillation, the latestgeneration systems use a preheater to reduce hot steam consumption by roughly 30 percent. In cleanroom production, up to 65 percent lower energy costs in connection with hot and cold water, steam and electricity can be achieved with the help of cutting-edge isolator
technology depending on the air supply system used. Similar concepts can now be found in the food sector: thanks to heat recovery, new systems used, for instance, to separate masses in the manufacture of jelly products consume only half as much energy. In addition to lower overall operating costs through reduced energy consumption, reducing the steam pressure in the separation process by 0.3 bar subjects the product to less thermal strain, helping preserve both quality and taste.

Figure 3: arious packaging materials are used in the food industry, depending on the specific product and barrier requirements. like: which machines consume the most electricity? At which point in which process step do we use most energy? Thanks to the progressive connectivity of production, we now enjoy access to more and more data, which can also be used for consumption analysis: sensors provide data, for instance on energy and compressed-air consumption, allowing us to analyze these parameters over a given timeframe. These often very different types of data can be bundled and analyzed on a single platform, and displayed in real-time on the Human Machine Interface (HMI) of a given machine or line. In this way, fluctuations, peak loads and irregularities can be identified – and effectively remedied. Thanks to industry 4.0, we will soon be able to use increasingly detailed data, paving the way for more fundamental analyses ranging from individual machines to entire plants. In turn, predictive analytics will help us spot potential sources of higher consumption and errors in advance – and identify corresponding potentials for optimization, leading to more efficient and resourceconserving production processes. 16 ◄ June 2018
Trinity of design, material and machine Several different aspects are important in the context of selecting suitable packages and processes: in addition to cost efficiency, more attention is being paid to barrier properties, processability, mechanical requirements, quality, and compliance with regulations. In this regard, sustainability will become more and more important in the future. When it comes to developing new packaging concepts and systems, factors like recycling, energy and resource efficiency have already become an integral part of performance specifications. Leading processing and packaging machinery providers are already working closely together with their customers in various pilot projects to develop comprehensive solutions based on a trinity of design, material and machine. This can best be achieved by getting material manufacturers, brand owners and their customers on board at an early stage. As part of the UX (User Experience) approach, feedback is collected on various parties’ expectations and needs, and is then directly integrated into further
developments. In addition to individual customer needs, regional specifications like legal requirements, consumer mentality and the degree of automation in production also have to be kept in mind. Only then can solutions be found that will allow the emerging markets to establish ecologically sound production, packaging and disposal concepts in their own regions. And this can only succeed if producers and materials developers, packaging manufacturers and mechanical engineering firms, as well as logistics, waste management and recycling companies act in concert, so that the entire packaging industry actively contributes to more sustainability.

Ethics in Clinical Trials: Its Role and Importance Clinical trial ethics are the set of relevant ethics considered in the conduct of a clinical trial in the field of clinical research. It borrows from the broader fields of research ethics and medical ethics. This article discusses the role and importance of ethics in clinical trials.
C
linical trials are a necessary practice in drug development to certify the safety and efficacy of a new drug and involve the participation of human subjects. Healthy volunteers and patients of specific diseases are considered legitimate trial units provided their free and informed consent is obtained under the law. Exploitation in the Clinical Testing arena Low and middle-income countries provide easy test subjects for clinical trials because in many cases, participating in a trial is the only way for the poor or needy to access expensive healthcare. However, this exposes them to the risk of exploitation. Experience has shown that unregulated practices in drug development can lead to unhealthy consequences for the people involved. In the 1960s, a chemical called Thalidomide was administered to pregnant women who had complained of morning sickness. The drug was marketed as a mild sleeping pill that was projected as being safe even for pregnant women. However, babies born to the mothers who took the pills were born with congenital deformities as a result. This spurred authorities and pharmaceutical companies to employ more rigorous testing standards before the introduction of a drug for human consumption. Guidelines and Frameworks for Clinical Trials in India
Dr. Ashok Peepliwal Associate Professor IIHMR University, Jaipur 18 ◄ June 2018
Ethical concerns are to be addressed responsibly by all the stakeholders involved including doctors, pharmaceutical companies, ethics committees, regulatory agencies, CROs, patients and drug testing laboratories. Patients can help by honestly describing symptoms and therapeutic progression during testing. ICH-GCP (E6 guidelines) unequivocally declares that the rights of the individual, safety and well-being shall prevail over the interests of both science and society. The safety of the trial subject is an inalienable right to be protected at any cost. To ensure that
this happens, stakeholders are required to undergo periodic training in order to comply with requirements of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the World Medical Association’s (WMA) Declaration of Helsinki on the ethical guidelines for biomedical research on human participants. These principles themselves stem from the Declaration of Geneva, one of which binds the physician with the words, “A physician shall act in the patient’s best interest when providing medical care”. The central concern of medical research is to study and understand the causes, development and effects of diseases and improve preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions (methods, procedures and treatments). Evaluation should continue beyond preliminary stages to as long as the tested molecule resides within the human subject. Nor does this declaration stop at lofty ephemeral ideals. Comprehensive guidelines include the compulsory performance of medical research/ clinical trial by appropriately trained and qualified personnel with the requisite scientific and ethical bent of mind. Clinical trials should also minimize harm to the environment. Known adverse effects should act as a breach of preliminary conditions before subjecting humans to trials. Suitable compensation and treatment in case of subjects who have been harmed should be available. The Ethics Committee (EC) in Clinical Trials ICMR guidelines (2006) require the establishment of and oversight by an ethics committee. An EC is to be registered with the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO). Approval or disapproval of a clinical trial is in the hands of the EC. The EC examines the pros and cons of a clinical trial protocol before approval. The committee members including the Chairman, Member Secretary, Clinician, Pharmacologist, Lawyer, Layperson, etc, must scrutinize protocols, Pharma Bio World

Pharma 4.0 – Impact of IIoT in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
W
ith the growing number of medical ailments across the globe, the pharmaceutical industry will undoubtedly become more important than ever in the near future. There is a paradigm shift from the mass production of drugs to offering more customized and specialized drugs to a smaller group of patients and this is greatly expected to improve the effectiveness of treatments. The Pharma 4.0 initiative is expected to not only address productivity issues but also provide the industry with smarter tools that can help ensure drug safety. Everyday factory equipment, people, and processes are thus getting increasingly smarter with the advent of digitization. The introduction of digitization in pharmaceutical manufacturing will also be instrumental in enabling a seamless data exchange across the pharmaceutical supply chain. The connectivity of product, people and process is what constitutes the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Manufacturing will undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary of IIoT. Thus, industries such as pharma and healthcare will certainly stand a good chance to continue to benefit from IIoT. Analyticsenabled data management vis-Ă -vis traditional paper-centric approaches will come a long way in being crucial enablers for important management decisions. The pharmaceutical industry should consider making investments in IIoT technologies, most of which are already mature in other industries and have proven effective in improving the efficiency of complex manufacturing operations. Leveraging lessons from this should help companies improve their financial and operational performances.
integrating the different manufacturing departments that are otherwise not adequately connected. IIoT technologies will enable manufacturers gain a 360-degree view of their plant operations with the ability to drill down to any level of detail at any stage of product development. This essentially would mean that data would be made available at just a tap of the screen. Manufacturing companies will transform from being small local hubs to global market places with the introduction of IIoT. The pharmaceutical industry has been among the forerunners in adopting these digital technologies that can help improve process efficiencies, reduce efforts, and increase profits. Within the industry there has always been an impetus to manage manufacturing processes more effectively. However, the pharmaceutical industry faces several challenges in being one of the most regulated manufacturing industries. The industry demands a good understanding of manufacturing processes and strict adherence to stringent regulatory standards that guide these processes. Due to regulatory
compliance issues in this sector, it has become mandatory for companies in the pharma industry to implement digital technologies. As is the case with any other industry, pharmaceutical manufacturing is faced with challenges, such as the need to enhance product quality, improve process efficiencies, reduce cycle times, reduce scrap and rework, track products, ensure adherence to regulatory guidelines, reduce downtime, and connect the supply chain among several others. This wall of challenges will however crumble eventually, thanks to the advancing benefits of digitization. With emerging benefits of industrial IoT and its increased applications in manufacturing, the dynamics of the industry is changing considerably. All information about machines, people, and materials involved in pharmaceutical manufacturing is required to be recorded according to mandatory requirements set down by government agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). There is also an increasing demand for real-time reporting within the industry and IIoT plays a crucial role
Digital technologies have thus become a quintessential component of the manufacturing industry in automating operations, streamlining processes, and
Pharma Bio World

in making the requisite data available. Connectivity ensures management and monitoring of manufacturing operations on the factory floor. Digital initiatives can by large provide a strong foundation for initiatives, such as Industry 4.0 to take over factory management. Manufacturers will be required to constantly upgrade their digital systems until such time when Industry 4.0 can be implemented in a fullfledged manner. Factory machines may already be connected and controlled by systems such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) or Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) or even Distributed Control systems (DCS). Industrial IoT is an added perk that brings along with it the power of data and computational prowess. This could now imply bringing in the power of analytics to generate valuable insights that can help oversee plant workflows and track and maintain machine activities much ahead of a breakdown. The benefits of IIoT in pharma manufacturing will pretty much be the same as is the case with several other industry verticals. The 22 â—„ June 2018
distinguishing advantage, however, could be in the fact that IIoT can go a long way in helping pharma manufacturers ensure a proper documentation during production for compliance reasons. Industry 4.0 could also help steer the pharma industry towards a paperless environment with lesser human intervention involved. This could involve terabytes of data being stored and processed on the cloud, as traditional methods of data storage get completely phased out. Introduction of IIoT in pharma would also mean making a fundamental shift towards outcome-based targeted therapies characterised by a more individualized production method.
Pharma is also an industry that has extremely sensitive storage conditions. The manufactured products typically are of high value and have a short storage life. They also mostly need to be stored under prescribed storage temperatures, which cannot be monitored if not for critical components of IIoT such as sensors and connectivity. IIoT has become an integral part of manufacturing and therefore it is only natural that the pharma industry should look to adopting it at the earliest. This would involve manufacturing companies taking important decisions such as phasing out legacy systems and transforming business models.
IIoT plays an important role in the continuous monitoring of connected factory equipment and personnel. This real-time tracking of equipment can help improve effectiveness of factory processes by enabling informed decisions through data resultant of connectivity. The other important benefit of IIoT in pharma manufacturing is the modular automation of pharma production plants, which enables a faster time-to-market for pharma products.
The IIoT may be at its nascent stages of development, but its impact on pharmaceutical manufacturing is certainly indisputable. Only those market participants able to see the potential gains and start taking those small baby steps will be the ones who will eventually be able to reap benefits from IIoT.

ndustry 4.0 is all about creating seamless connectivity in between machines, processes, and people within and beyond manufacturing facilities to increase quality, productivity and profit by using the power of advanced data analytics. By using IoT solutions, pharma manufacturing companies can digitize and connect their various operations, increase efficiencies, enhance product quality and fulfil regulatory compliances. Pharma companies are tasked with examining data at every stage of the manufacturing process, right from the time raw materials arrives until the final product is packed and sent to distribution. In the traditional pharmaceutical facilities, the references and information about drug formulation, production and equipment and data of QA-QC are manually entered in data sheets, which are prone to human errors and can even be manipulated. However, with connected plant and IoT - solutions, manufacturers can access data in real time to monitor production, quality, OEE and condition of equipment. Mass customization and batch size one with cost-effective production is also possible with Industrial IoT. Improved operational efficiencies

Improved Dosing Applications using Coriolis Instruments with CORI-FILL Technology How to overcome the disadvantages of using weighing scales? How to shorten production time whilst improving the quality of the final product? The integration of (mini) CORI-FLOW instruments in your production line offers unprecedented improvement to process efficiency.
C
ORI-FILL technology features an integrated batch counter function together with the facility to directly control shut-off valves, proportional valves or (gear) pumps. Due to this technology, Cori-Tech can offer compact assemblies of (mini) CORI-FLOW instruments combined with a valve or pump, capable of dosing the exact desired amount of fluid.
In contrast to the gravimetric method (weighing scales), multiple fluids can be dosed simultaneously. Furthermore, the scales need to be re-zeroed when switching from one fluid to another, whereas instruments with CORI-FILL technology just require a short reset command to start the next batch. The amount to be dosed can be easily preset by programming the batch counter via a fieldbus connection. This batching method is faster and more compact than the gravimetric method, and highly accurate. As a result of their small footprint it is possible to mount the (mini) CORI-FLOW
instruments directly to the shut-off valves, thereby minimizing the internal volume, resulting in a fast response time and the highest accuracy (minimum delay-effects in the piping). Benefits •
Reduced production time due to simultaneous dosing of compounds.
•
Improved product quality due to less evaporation of volatile fluids.
•
Compact solution due to small footprint, without extended tubing between flow meter and valve or pump.
•
Reduced risk of gas inclusion that can cause delay effects.
•
High accuracy due to Coriolis technique and compact assembly.
•

The Vacuum Pump Unique in Reliability, Performance and Consumption When Others Stop, Saurus939 Carries On!
S
aurus939 has all the Italvacuum experience, a vacuum pump that is particularly suitable for the main chemical and pharmaceutical processes. A simply designed machine, that combines traditional robustness and reliability with the most evolved technology. Saurus939 has always been the core business of Italvacuum, one of the leading manufacturers of vacuum pumps as well as a worldwide reference point in the design and manufacture of vacuum dryers. Resistance, strength and consumption of oil virtually eliminated thanks to the innovative LubriZero® system, a solution which guarantees perfect operation and optimum results with total respect for the environment. Designed to work with both the most common and the most aggressive solvents, Saurus939 guarantees:
Figure 1: Saurus939 front view 34 ◄ June 2018
• Absolute safety for both operators and the process • Easy round-the-clock operation • Unrivalled performance • Nominal flowrate up to 3,800 m 3/h • Vacuum level up to 0,03 mbar • Minimum operating costs, thanks to: • Low energy consumption motors • Innovative LubriZero system, with negligible oil consumption • Easy and economical maintenance. Saurus939 vacuum pump is particularly suitable for the most demanding applications, ensuring constant vacuum level and flow rate over time. Powerful, efficient, but absolutely safe: Saurus939 guarantees optimum safety through the whole process and complete purity of the final product. In other words, ensures an uncontaminated vacuum.
Use in the Fine Chemicals Industry Fine chemicals, which are used as raw materials in the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors, differ from basic chemical products because of their high purity. Producing fine chemicals involves many processes of synthesis and purification employing vacuum technology. These processes include reaction, drying, distillation and crystallization. Reaction Processes Chemical reactions are widely used in synthesizing compounds, where vacuum is required to avoid high temperatures and to remove oxygen and secondary products. Reactions normally take place at temperatures around 10/20 mbara. Vacuum reactors generally have a volume between 1 m3 and 10 m3. For these applications, it is often sufficient to use a vacuum pump with a nominal output between 80e 380 m3/h. Here, the double stage Saurus939 is the ideal solution, thanks to its resistance to corrosive solvents and reliability in the most demanding work environments. Examples of areas where the Italvacuum vacuum pump has been used include the synthesis of: • Compounds for the agrochemical sector, where the ATEX Zone 0 version of the Saurus939 is used • Performance additives for the lubrication market, where the Saurus939 piston pump is the only technology that can be used because of the aggressive solvents and significant amount of powdered materials involved. Drying Processes Vacuum drying takes place immediately after centrifugation or filtration. It is a process that removes the moisture from a wet solid by introducing heat. This operation is performed under vacuum in order to dry heat-sensitive substances at temperatures that are lower Pharma Bio World
marketing initiative near absolute vacuum up to 30 mbara. Vacuum crystallizers generally have a volume between 1 m3 and 4 m3. For these applications, it is often essential to employ the Saurus939 vacuum pump in combination with a Roots compressor. Thanks to uncontaminated vacuum and continuous recovery of extracted solvents, the Italvacuum vacuum pump maintains total finished product purity.

than would otherwise be possible. In the fine chemical industry, vacuum drying is a batch operation and can be carried out using a variety of technologies, depending on the product involved. Applications for the Italvacuum vacuum pump include drying: • Raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry, where the double stage roots compressor version of the Saurus939 piston pump is used • Raw materials for the biopharmaceutical industry, where the basic double stage version of the Saurus939 vacuum pump is used. Distillation Processes Vacuum distillation is a process in which the pressure above a liquid mixture is reduced to less than the latter’s vapour pressure, thus causing the more volatile liquid to evaporate. This process is used when the liquids to be distilled have low volatility (Teb > 150°C) or can undergo chemical decomposition at temperatures near their atmospheric boiling point. Vacuum distillation is also used to remove impurities from temperature sensitive materials such as flavorings. The pressure at which distillation is carried out may vary according to the compounds to be separated, ranging from values near absolute vacuum up to 60 mbara. Vacuum distillation columns generally have a volume between 5 m3 and 20 m3. For these applications, it is advisable to combine the Saurus939 vacuum pump with a Roots compressor in order to increase nominal output and reduce limit pressure. Pharma Bio World
Applications of the Italvacuum vacuum pump include distillation of plant-based fragrances and flavorings for the cosmetics and food industries. Crystallization Processes This is a process in which a solid compound is precipitated from a solution. Crystallization is employed in cases calling for extremely low operating pressures, obtained under very low absolute pressures, and for applications that involve relatively small amounts of high value-added material. It is thus usually a batch operation. Crystallization cycles last from 2 to 8 hours. The pressure at which crystallization is carried out can vary from
Use in the Pharmaceutical Industry Vacuum pumps are among the most widely used types of equipment in the pharmaceutical industry. They are employed at all scales, from pilot to industrial production, and by all sectors, from manufacturers of intermediates to producers of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). A typical process calling for vacuum technology is drying, which is a crucial step in the pharmaceutical production sequence. Drying takes place immediately after centrifugation or filtration. It is a process that removes the moisture from a wet solid by introducing heat. This operation is performed under vacuum in order to dry heat-sensitive or hygroscopic substances at temperatures that are lower than would otherwise be possible. In the pharmaceutical industry, drying is a batch operation and can be carried out using a variety of technologies, depending on the product involved.

marketing initiative these circumstances, the condenser which is always mounted upstream of the Saurus939 vacuum unit is bypassed and the positivedisplacement compressor is activated. With the compressor’s help, it is possible to reach very high vacuums – at least an order of magnitude below the levels that could be reached with the vacuum pump alone – together with extremely high output (here again, the output increases by around one order of magnitude).

Crystalline products produced by synthesis (reactors) are chiefly processed using dynamic dryers (ie, rotary and horizontal paddle dryers). These products, in fact, must have a very specific particle size and very low humidity. Amorphous or plant and animal based products, on the other hand, are normally processed in static dryers. Particle size is not usually a determining factor for these products, since they are subsequently ground, and the moisture content is never as strictly controlled. Dynamic Drying In a dynamic system, the drying process’s effectiveness depends not only on the system itself, but also on the vacuum unit. This is
the typical case found in the production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) using rotary dryers and horizontal paddle dryers. Here, the vacuum pump must cope at the same time with aggressive organic solvents such as acetone, toluene and so forth, and the potential interaction with solid powder particles (especially if they are not adequately removed by the filter systems). The Italvacuum vacuum pump can deal with both these issues. Where very low final moisture content is required, dynamic dryers are often combined with pumps coupled with roots compressors. For processing purposes, these compressors must be activated at the final stage of drying in order to extract the last traces of solvent retained in pharmaceutical powders. Under
In drying APIs, other vacuum technologies are less effective than the Saurus939 pump. Rotary vane pumps and liquid-ring pumps have a number of shortcomings when used with aggressive solvents, including a short life cycle and limited application in severe operating conditions. Dry pumps, on the other hand, have difficulty dealing with processes involving a great deal of interaction with solid particles, as they are particularly susceptible to damage by minimum quantities of dust. Static Drying By contrast with dynamic dryers, static dryers, which are universal systems capable of drying any product, rarely need roots compressors. In addition, this technology only sporadically requires a filter between the dryer and the vacuum unit. An example of application consists of drying plant extracts, a typical process used in today’s booming herbal industry. This sector combines the most modern extraction technologies with the vacuum drying techniques that the pharmaceutical industry has used from its beginnings. Natural and plant-based products are subjected to solvent extraction. The batch resulting from this process is then dried in order to retain all its heat-sensitive properties without change. The vacuum pump and the condenser unit are activated during this process. Both remain active for the entire duration of the process. The double stage version of the Saurus939 vacuum pump is used with or without a roots compressor. ◘

Metropolis Healthcare launches new test to screen and diagnose Preeclampsia Metropolis Healthcare has launched sFlt-1/PlGF ratio, a new tool for the diagnosis of preeclampsia by discriminating between preeclamptic pregnancies and other forms of pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it has been conceptualized as a simple blood test to deliver clear, reliable results with a specificity of 95% and a sensitivity of 82% to help identify patients at risk for potentially life threatening complications. It is believed that Preeclampsia may be caused by an imbalance of angiogenic factors. It has been demonstrated that high serum levels of sFlt-1, an anti-angiogenic protein (inhibits growth of new blood vessels) and low levels of PlGF, a pro-angiogenic protein (promotes Pharma Bio World
growth of new blood vessels) predict subsequent development of preeclampsia. Speaking on the launch of this new test, Dr Sushil Shah, Founder & Chairman, Metropolis Healthcare said “Metropolis is proud to launch this test to diagnose preeclampsia and we truly believe that this will greatly help clinicians manage their patients accordingly. This new test could be a life saver for moms at risk.” Adding to it, Dr Deepak Sanghavi, Head of Department, Clinical Chemistry said “Clinical criteria alone (blood pressure and proteinuria) may be inadequate to predict adverse outcomes. This test for preeclampsia allows for early and precise diagnosis leading to effective clinical management and improving the outcome for mother and child.” Though it may sound complicated, Indians have been aware of preeclampsia over several decades. The need for developing high-accuracy diagnostic pathways have prompted doctors to start monitoring blood pressure from early pregnancy periods to ensure the close monitoring of high-risk pregnancies.

Dr Rajiv Kovil, Consultant Diabetologist, commented “It is really great to see a tool that not just stresses on the importance of SMBG, but is effectively improving the adherence of and value to patients. SMBG is an essential tool in the optimal management of diabetes, and am glad to see clinically validated real time responses helping patients manage their blood sugar levels better”. Stressing on the importance of improved SMBG among people with diabetes, Dr. Banshi Saboo (MD. PhD), Chairman, DiaCare Ahmedabad, Hon. Sec of Diabetes India said, “In-spite of the advice given by physicians to patients with Type 2 diabetes, compliance with SMBG in patients living in India is very low. There is a need to help, encourage and empower patients beyond the test, to enable better compliance and better glycaemic variability. Digital Therapeutics like Wellthy Care provides data that is acquired, integrated, analysed, and presented in a self‐ explanatory manner to patients, while highlighting important trends that require attention for physicians, and am glad to see such encouraging results.”
Dr. Cyrus Poonawalla conferred with “Doctor of Science Hon.” By the University Digital therapeutics improves self-monitoring of Massachusetts of blood glucose adherence in India The University of Massachusetts conferred Dr. Cyrus Poonawalla, Clinical data published in the latest edition of Endocrine Practice, the AACE Journal established the role of Wellthy Care, a digital therapeutic platform by Wellthy Therapeutics, in improving self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) for patients with Type II Diabetes.
As per clinical guidelines, a Type 2 diabetic patient should check his blood glucose daily. Real World studies in India indicate, that the average educated diabetes patient checks blood glucose less than once a month. The data reported from 104 patients that recorded a total of 1288 blood glucose readings (12.38 measurements per patient on average) shows how Wellthy Care can potentially help physicians and HCPs personalize care for their patients by knowing the glycaemic variability. On completion of the 16 weeks program, 56% and 50% of patients reported a reduction in their fasting blood sugar and post prandial blood sugar values respectively, with significantly more readings than average at the time of the next physician appointment. “There is an unmet need for personalised care in between doctor visits. In emerging markets like India, SMBG still remains relatively affordable versus other blood sugar measuring diagnostic tools. Real time feedback and guidance plays a crucial role for SMBG adherence and value creation, which needs tools like chat bots and self learning logic systems like those that Wellthy Therapeutics provides for patients. Better and more data leads to personalised decision support for both the doctor and the patient, which is of utmost importance to enable the respective stakeholder to action decisions leading to better outcomes, and enables patients to unlock more value from their device” said Abhishek Shah, Co-Founder and CEO, Wellthy Therapeutics. 40 ◄ June 2018

Freeze Dryer Bosch Packaging Technology offers freeze dryer. The lyophilization system can be used to stabilize thermolabile and delicate active ingredients like oncological medications, vaccines or antibodies. Its modular design makes the GMP-compliant freeze dryer suitable for the production of small batches for clinical trials, as well as for medium and large production batches. During the freeze drying process, water is extracted from the drugs by means of sublimation without affecting its properties. The dry, porous lyo cake can be quickly and easily reconstituted shortly before use by adding sterile water. Another advantage of the system is the homogenous temperature distribution in the shelves. The internal channeling and flow velocity were optimized on the especially developed test bed to ensure consistent heat exchange. The tilting shelves ensure rapid cleaning: the slight tilt enables water droplets to quickly drain from the surface, shortening the cleaning and drying time. The tilt angle also improves the performance of the CIP nozzles, reducing water consumption.

Quantek Head Space Oxygen Analyser Quantek is an expert for analysing various gases especially oxygen in vials. Model 905V is one of the most successful and robust models in the industry. Pharma preperations packaged in vials are often gas flushed to provide a specific atmosphere in the vial, with defined levels of oxygen, nitrogen or other gases. Depending on the product, these vials can range in size from 1 to 250 ml or larger. Small vials present some difficulty for oxygen analysis because the sample volume available is often quite small. A 1-ml vial, eg, may have only 0.5-ml of headspace gas. For direct analysis with a pharma oxygen analyser, the instrument must be capable of analysing very small volumes. Their pharma oxygen analyser is designed for this process. Used for vials, blisters and bottles. It is ideal for IP QC or QC laboratory requirements and runs on battery.

Heat Exchangers Kipp Umwelttechnik offers fast and gentle cleaning for all types of fin heat exchanger with its JetMaster+ system. Made up of four combination devices, the JetMaster+ system is also successful where other cleaning systems cannot help. Kipp Umwelttechnik is now 100 per cent effective in cleaning spiral-finned tubes in tight spaces, even with extremely hard deposits. Stones have even been removed from the equipment. Many other companies had already tried and failed. Kipp Umwelttechnik has been successful in cleaning tube bundle heat exchangers for many years. The TubeMaster process from its sister company mycon GmbH cleans tubes without residue and removes even the toughest deposits. The interior of the tubes can even be polished at the same time – significantly reducing energy costs and increasing production capacity. Cleaning removable plate heat exchangers using the PowerMaster system has also long been part of Kipp Umwelttechnik’s work. Supported by a regional university in 2017 Kipp Umwelttechnik developed its own flushing technique for cleaning closed plate/tube bundle heat exchangers. Kipp Umwelttechnik based the new system primarily on green chemistry that cleans gently, can be reused and after multiple uses, can later be recycled or neutralised. For the biogas plant sector, there is a fully-equipped vehicle that carries the necessary cleaning equipment at all times. In collaboration with the system’s manufacturer, sister company mycon GmbH, Kipp Umwelttechnik also offers the JetMaster system for cleaning all types of fin heat exchanger for hire, together with the compressor required if necessary. All heat exchangers can also be cleaned at their premises for a fixed price. If required, we can collect the equipment from your site and return it after. For more information, please contact:

bookshelf Leading Pharmaceutical Innovation: How to Win the Life Science Race (Hardcover) Authors: Oliver Gassmann, Alexander Schuhmacher, Max von Zedtwitz, Gerrit Reepmeyer Price: USD 79.99 No of pages: 179 pages Pharmaceutical giants have been doubling their investments in drug development, only to see new drug approvals to remain constant for the past decade. This book investigates and highlights a set of proactive strategies, aimed at generating sustainable competitive advantage for its protagonists based on value-generating business practices. This book focus on three sources of pharmaceutical innovation: new management methods in the drug development pipeline, new technologies as enablers for cutting-edge R&D, and new forms of internationalisation, such as outside-in innovation in the early phases of R&D.
Pharmaceutical Innovation, Competition and Patent Law: A Trilateral Perspective (Hardcover) Authors: Josef Drexl, Nari Lee (Editors) Price: USD 154.00 No of pages: 352 pages Public health, safety and access to reasonably priced medicine are common policy goals of pharmaceutical regulations. As both the context for innovation and competitive structure change, industry actors dynamically challenge the balance between the incentive for protection and the achievement of those policy goals.Considering the arguments from the perspectives of innovation, competition law and patent law, this book explores the difficult question of balancing protection with access, highlighting the difficulties in harmonization and coordination. The contributors to this book, including academics, judges and practitioners from Europe, the US and Japan, explore to what extent patent strategies and life-cycle management practices take advantage of patent laws and health-care regulation and disrupt the necessary balance between incentives for innovation and access to affordable medicine and health care. Addressing fundamental questions in the field of pharmaceutical innovation, this book will appeal to scholars and practitioners in intellectual property, competition law and life sciences regulation, as well as pharmaceutical companies and regulators.
Pharmaceutical Packaging Innovations (Paperback) Author: Sandeep Kumar Goyal Price: USD 41.80 No of pages: 132 pages Pharmaceutical Packaging is not a recent phenomenon. It is an activity closely associated with the evolution of society and, as such, can be tracked back to human beginnings. The nature, degree, and amount of Packaging at any stage of society’s growth reflect the needs, cultural patterns, material availability, and technology of that society. The pace of the technological change in Packaging field is bringing new innovative packaging ideas and Pharmaceutical Packaging is not an exception. Idea behind this book is to bring the innovations to wider group of professionals to meet the mission of packaging knowledge sharing and that too cost effectively. We feel that this publication will further fill the project pipelines of companies and improve the standards of packaging. Many professionals either do not have the access or time to go through so many innovations together. So we think this publication will fill that gap. Pharma Bio World
