What to expect in the next 25 years?

“Right now, manufacturing experts from the 1950s would easily recognize the pharmaceutical manufacturing processes of today. It is predicted that manufacturing will change in the next 25 years as current manufacturing practices are abandoned in favor of cleaner, flexible, more efficient continuous manufacturing.” Janet Woodckock, Director CDER, FDA (AAPS meeting, 2011)

Pall Life Sciences is assessing the needs process analytical technology (PAT) as an overall capability upgrade to be used in conjunction with our existing and planned continuous bioprocessing toolbox to enable on-line and at-line real time continuous monitoring and automation of the continuous products.

PAT paves the way of continuous maufacturing with the adoption of innovative technologies to perform timely measurements on critical quality attributes (CQAs) of raw and in-process materials, allowing better process understanding and control.

What is Continuous Bioprocessing?

Figure 1aCurrent: Batch BioProcess* (individual unit operations)

Figure 1bFuture: Continuous BioProcess* (one piece flow)

To implement a strategy in a continuous process, it is crucial to understand and minimize:

incoming material variation,

critical quality attributes (CQA) and critical process parameter (CPP) variations,

perform timely in-process measurements,

define representative sampling,

develop chemometric models and set appropriate acceptance criteria, and

characterize the propagation of changes and disturbances through the system.

In contrast to batch processing, in which local control of each piece of equipment is in many occasions considered sufficient, in continuous manufacturing not only is local control mandatory, but also the entire process flow must be coordinated and equipped with second-level control systems that supervise and align the work of individual unit operations.

The selection of appropriate PAT tools is a crucial step toward setting efficient monitoring and control strategies in continuous processes.
