Process Analytical Technology (PAT) is a system for designing, analyzing, and controlling pharmaceutical manufacturing processes through measurements of critical quality and performance attributes of raw and processed materials to ensure final product quality. The idea of which is to become more efficient while reducing over-processing, enhancing efficiency, reducing waste, and getting products to the market faster.
While it may require more time and resources at first – PAT will bring enhanced insight on the product and processes, and assist product development, technology transfer and commercial manufacturing, having a key role in a product’s lifecycle.
To achieve these goals, you need broad product and process understanding, then, the ability to control process conditions in real-time. How do we do that? Freund-Vector works with you during the development phase of your process to build an effective PAT strategy.
What Tools does Freund-Vector use to implement PAT?
Since Real-time analytics are at the center of this methodology, not relying solely on the classic approach of offline, post-run QA/QC to ensure quality. Inline or online analytics technology including:
Why should you work with Freund-Vector for PAT?
We offer a wide arrange of real-time information on powders, pellets, granules, tablets, solids, slurries, liquids.
- Process Parameters
- Moisture & Drying Analysis
- In-process Materials Behavior
- Coating Thickness
- Particle Size & Particle Size Distribution
- End Point Detection
- Blending Uniformity
- And More!
Understanding this knowledge will lead the way to the improvement of a robust control strategy that will give you a higher degree of automation and better control over the process.
Would you like having PAT implemented in your process?
If you’d like to have PAT implemented in your process but you’re concerned or have questions, don’t worry; we can help!
Our process scientist specialize in supporting the implementation of PAT for processing. We take a step-by-step approach by employing PAT in simple cases to produce noticeable gains. Once the benefits and understanding that PAT creates are transparent, you will be ready to start the establishment of bigger PAT projects.
