Process Analytical Technology

Clinical safety is our first concern. Without the correct systems in place, patients could be put at risk.

The FDA is understandably concerned that quality should be built into pharmaceutical products. With patient safety as top priority, they are strongly recommending a new methodology that reduces the risk of human error and maximises process efficiency.

Process analytical technology, or PAT, introduces on-line monitoring of critical process factors and promises real-time quality assurance.

This innovative new approach could see an end to traditional testing procedures. By making use of the latest scientific advances in manufacturing and technology, product quality will be assured by design. It will also reduce waste and result in long-term cost savings.

Sounds simple, doesn’t it? But in practice, it’s rather more complex. There are great challenges in establishing the design space of a product’s characteristic parameters, and then controlling the critical process variables. This is where Haden Freeman’s strengths come into the picture.

We are experts at solving complicated process engineering problems. We understand that delivering novel pharmaceutical engineering is not just about finding answers; first and foremost, it’s about asking the right questions.
