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
  • Training requirements
