How to Choose a Pharmaceutical Raw Material Supplier
Choosing a pharmaceutical raw material supplier is not simply a purchasing decision. For pharmaceutical manufacturers, the quality and consistency of raw materials and APIs can directly affect manufacturing operations, product quality, and supply-chain reliability. For this reason, pharmaceutical companies should evaluate more than price and delivery time when selecting an API supplier. Quality systems, technical […]
Impurities in APIs: Types, Sources and Control Methods
One of the important aspects of evaluating the quality of an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient is understanding its impurity profile. During API manufacturing, different compounds may be generated or remain in the material as a result of raw materials, chemical reactions, process conditions, solvents, equipment, or storage conditions. For this reason, identifying and controlling impurities is […]
What Is ICH Q7? A Complete Guide to GMP for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, commonly known as APIs, are among the most critical components of pharmaceutical manufacturing. The quality of an API can directly affect the quality and performance of the finished medicinal product.
