2010 PASG Conference

"Pharmaceutical Analysis -

Future Challenges and Opportunities"

10th &11th May 2010, Hilton Hotel, Milton Keynes

The theme of the conference is Future Challenges and Opportunities in the field of Pharmaceutical Analysis, and promises to be a highly topical and focussed meeting with presentations driven by current practitioners in the field. In particular, the conference will focus on the themes of Quality by Design, Lean practice, Dissolution and Novel Technology. There will be plenty of opportunity to interact with the speakers both in the round table discussions at the end of each session, 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/PASGSpring2010.php

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.
