Zielsetzung
A thorough root cause analysis often reveals that compression issues such as capping, sticking and weight variations are related to the upstream granulating process. The objective of this intensive training is therefore to provide a deeper insight into functional relationships between granulation and tabletting in order to avoid such problems from the very beginning.
The training also conveys a deeper understanding for tableting and granulating processes, including Scale-Up, which helps in avoiding problems or solving them in practice. This also complies with the GMP principle of understanding and controlling the critical parameters of manufacturing processes. An introduction to the different GMP requirements for manufacturing solid dosage forms worldwide is therefore also subject of this course.
Hintergrund
Granulation and tableting are considered the most commonly used manufacturing processes in the pharmaceutical industry. Of course, a direct compression process is most preferred; in practice, however, an upstream granulation is usually required to obtain a favourable particle size distribution, flowability and compactibility. Different requirements for granulates call for different procedures or technologies. Nowadays, fluid bed and high-shear granulation are the most commonly used processes.
An important part of this training is therefore to introduce the different granulation methods, their basic principles and Scale-Up approaches. A deeper insight into process parameters and their influence on product properties is also part of the programme.
The holistic approach to granulation and tableting therefore aims at avoiding issues from the very beginning and to overcome problems at an industrial scale through in-depth process insights. Having the presses run slower should be a last resort after all other options have failed. Therefore Trouble Shooting and solving tableting issues in case of lamination, sticking or weight variances is also part of this Training.
Zielgruppe
This intensive course is designated for all professionals from Pharmaceutical Development, Production and QA/Regulatory Affairs, who are responsible for the development, the Routine production or the Scale-Up and transfer of tableting processes.
