Production & Manufacturing

Biopharma companies are continuing to redirect production strategies toward Europe, even as U.S. policymakers attempt to strengthen domestic output through tariffs and onshoring measures. According to GlobalData, the latest data highlights a clear divergence in deal activity, with drug...

The molecule you choose to advance into development doesn't just define your science it defines your entire Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls roadmap. This article unpacks how early lead selection decisions ripple through CMC planning, regulatory timelines, and ultimately, your path to the clinic.

The US pharma tariffs policy has been formalised through an executive order signed by Donald Trump, introducing tariffs of up to 100% on imported branded medicines. The measure targets pharmaceutical companies that have not entered into drug pricing agreements...

A blister pack may seem like a simple enough concept until you’re trying to prove that it will open cleanly every time. Peel testing turns each peel into data so you can protect dose integrity, support and child resistance...

Sustainability in the pharmaceutical industry is critical because the sector operates at the pivotal intersection of human and planetary health. Medicines save lives, yet their production is energy‑intensive, water‑demanding, and materials‑heavy, with global supply chains that generate significant Scope...

The convergence of digital transformation and precision engineering has given rise to a new generation of quality control in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Smart inspection systems with HV leak detection technology utilize advanced sensors and real-time data analytics to identify microscopic structural flaws in sterile packaging with unprecedented accuracy. By automating the detection of leaks that are invisible to the human eye, these intelligent systems significantly enhance the reliability of the manufacturing process, ensuring that every container meets the highest standards of safety and sterility.

The pharmaceutical industry is increasingly moving toward a more holistic approach to quality control by combining various inspection technologies into a single, unified platform. Integrated inspection systems for leak detection in pharma offer a multi-faceted solution that simultaneously addresses cosmetic defects, particulate contamination, and container closure integrity. By merging high-speed visual cameras with sensitive high-voltage leak detection modules, these systems provide a comprehensive assessment of every unit, ensuring that each dose of medication is contained within a perfectly sealed and sterile environment. This integration not only reduces the risk of secondary contamination but also significantly improves the overall efficiency and reliability of the manufacturing process.
