2011 PASG Conference

"Pharmaceutical Analysis -

Lab of the Future"

9th &10th May 2011, The Kettering Park Hotel and Spa, Kettering

What does ‘Lab of the Future’ mean to you?

Many of us have ideas of the technology, innovation and collaborative culture that will shape the future of pharmaceutical analysis.

 Pharmaceutical Analysis – Lab of the Future promises to be a highly topical conference with focus on a number of themes including Quality by Design, Remote Analysis, Implementing Efficiency Tools and Lean & Continuous Improvement.  Presentations and posters will convey current experience and future prospects for these approaches in achieving work process efficiency and enhanced output. There will be plenty of opportunity to interact with the speakers both in the Q&As at the end of each talk, and informally during the two days of the conference. The conference promises to be a highly enjoyable and interactive survey of the state of current and potential future practice, with plenty of opportunity for networking with your peers.

Registration is available online at http://www.mmsconferencing.com/pasgspring2011.php
Please note that substantial early bird discounts are available for registration prior to 11th March

At this time we are also inviting you send in abstracts for poster presentations. The posters can be on any aspect of the conference themes as stated above. Please send abstracts to: s.demello@mmsconferencing.com prior to the
15th April 2011.

Research and Innovation in Pharmaceutical Analysis

2009 PASG meeting, Huntingdon Marriot, May 11th and 12th.

The meeting drew delegates from all the major UK based innovator companies to hear about the application of innovative approaches and technologies within the industry, and about university based analytical research in fields such as separation science and surface analysis.

Imogen Gill, head of analytical R&D at Pfizer, set the scene for the meeting with a presentation on the challenges facing the industry and the opportunities offered by innovation. The first day then proceeded with a mixture of presentations on practical responses to regulatory and other challenges, and discussions about longer-term scientific strategy.

The second day focussed on the research and application of new analytical science with particular emphasis on methods to characterise the surfaces of materials and how they interact with their environment. Other presentations covered the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging methods as a tool to understand the dissolution behaviour of formulations.

The Analytical Science and Regulation of Pharmaceutical Packaging

A one-day symposium organised jointly with the Joint Pharmaceutical Analysis Group (www.jpag.org) at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain

Thursday 3 December 2009

Packaging plays a critical role in the presentation, distribution and protection of drug products, as well as for patient convenience and compliance. Higher regulatory and quality controls are required for pharmaceutical packaging, especially for products such as those administered by the intravenous or inhaled routes which not only rely on packaging for product integrity or functionality but present a greater risk to patients from packaging leachables. A good understanding of packaging effects can also lead to reductions in stability testing requirements and to longer shelf lives. This symposium will examine the current regulatory landscape for pharmaceutical packaging and the analytical strategies to assess the quality, safety and efficacy of product packaging.
