Newsletter Debut

February 4
The first issue of the Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manufacturing & Marketplace Report, a new specialized biweekly newsletter of Pharmaceutical Technology and BioPharm International, is set to launch on Feb. 27.  The eNewsletter is an exclusive feature of the new Pharmaceutical Technology/BioPharm International Marketplace, an online community focused on products and services for drug development and manufacturing, which will be launching in beta shortly and formally in April.
The first edition of the Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manufacturing & Marketplace Report will provide insight for our five main communities:
Solid dosage, semisolid, and specialty dosage forms. We examine the use of hot-melt extrusion (HME) for the solid dispersion of poorly soluble drugs by addressing excipient selection and functionality, recent advances in HME technology, challenges in the technology, and best practices for for formulators given the current state-of-the-art.
Parenterals. In an editorial podcast, AAIPharma discusses its recent expansion of its parenteral manufacturing facility, including the rationale for the investment, the specific capabilities it added and why, and what challenges the company faced during the expansion.
Chemical API manufacturing. Our focus is on highly potent APIs (HPAPIs). Custom manufacturers share their experiences regarding the manufacture of highly potent chemical compounds, including the challenges of HPAPI manufacturing, the latest technologies, recent investments in production capabilities, and anticipated future developments.
Biologic API manufacturing:  We explore the adaption of single-use technologies. Kevin Ott, president of the Bio-Process Systems Alliance (BPSA), discusses recent developments for single-use technologies, the major challenges that remain, the key trends and issues that his organization is addressing, and what BPSA has planned for 2013.
Pharmaceutical analysis. We examine portable analytical technologies through insight provided by ThermoFisher Scientific on hand-held instruments for the analysis of pharmaceutical raw materials, the solution it has developed, and other potential uses throughout the pharmaceutical supply chain and manufacturing processes.
