2014 - Process Analytical Technology (PAT) - A Practical Approach

Overview:
PAT is what the pharmaceutical industry has phrased as their innovation; however the balances of the American manufacturing industries have been using since the 1970s.
PAT is the use of process control systems to control pressure, temperature, level, flow rate, and other primary variables that control the quality, and cost of our products. This process requires direct measurement of the quality variables or inferential measurement of highly correlated variables to control final critical quality parameters. We use those primary measurements (dependant variables) within a process control system to manipulate the variables to achieve the optimal quality or a final quality end point. In some cases our quality control will deliver the same quality currently achieved, but with a shorter batch time, reduced costs (energy, solvents, gas purges, etc.) PAT uses process control and measurement technology to provide a more automated, less operator dependant, less operator interactive, more precise, and a less costly production.
Why should you attend:
Both the FDA and the EU via their guidance documents and the ICH Compliance series suggest and recommend investigation and use of PAT. Too much of our manufacturing processes and practices have no technical basis and are built on inefficient and historical folklore, even though our regulatory submissions give us the flexibility PAT highlights the need for process understanding, the use of process analytical tools and using computer based process control to determine the product outcome.
This presentation outlines the basics of PAT, how to identify an opportunity, what information is required and how to set up a successful application.
