Choosing Sensors, Monitors and Instruments for PAT Programs
Pre-recorded Course
AN ON-DEMAND ONLINE TRAINING FORMAT
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for people who are charged with evaluating and optimizing batch chemical processing,
especially in regulated environments. PAT programs for pharmaceutical production, natural products, cosmetics and
nutritionally-regulated foods, such as infant formulas, will all benefit from this offering.-
Pharmaceutical production personnel, especially in PAT or quality-enhancement programs
- Formulators
- Chemical instrumentation engineers
- Process optimizers
- Analytical instrument users and support personnel
Description
Pharmaceuticals are, by and large, made via batch processes. Sensing controlling and optimizing these unit
operations requires instruments that deliver highly specific and definitive information. At-line and on-line
devices may serve equally well. Successful deployment may require information at the expense of data. This
course provides guidelines for sensor selection and use.
Module 1:
Use what you know: Do current methods meet criteria?
Examining “DRIP” and “DPIR”
Matching instrument data parameters with process needs
Reducing variation stepwise
Module 2:
Chemical or physical information, or both?
Conformity and consistency
Switching from instrumental data to control charts
Multiple sensor deployment
Module 3:
“Swarm of Gnats” sensor use
Dynamic calibration
Validating a process sensor: Process signatures
