HTP instrument makes debut at pharma conference
High resolution ultrasonic/acoustic spectrometer has capability for process development and monitoring for applications including concentration measurements
Pioneer in ultrasonic analytical technology, Ultrasonic Scientific will make its debut at the 21st Pharmaceutical Technology Conference and Exhibition, following the successful launch of the company's innovative new high resolution ultrasonic spectrometer, the HR-US 102.
The 21st Conference, which takes place in Dublin, Ireland from 11-13 March 2003 is a premiere event for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and biotechnology professionals with attendees from more than 35 countries.
In the past, pharmaceutical production involved manufacturing finished product and subsequently verifying quality.
There are disadvantages to this approach, such as continual process optimisation, recurring manufacturing difficulties, and failed batches.
High resolution ultrasonic spectroscopy can address and solve many of these concerns.
It provides capabilities for fast analysis of raw materials, intermediates for final products and allows fast adjustment of manufacturing parameters, thus achieving the desired quality of the final products.
It allows the generation of information on product quality in real time.
Having already launched a range of spectrometers for the pharmaceutical market, Ultrasonic Scientific is introducing the HR-US HTP (High Resolution Ultrasonic Spectrometer - High Throughput) an enabling technology, which is sold to pharmaceutical organisations in the USA and Europe for a variety of applications.
The high resolution ultrasonic/acoustic spectrometer has the capability for process development and monitoring in real time.
One of the applications is concentration measurements, other related applications are ingredient and formulation consistency (composition, structure), process impurity analysis, batch to batch variation, etc.
The technology can be used for static fingerprint measurements or for dynamic analysis of systems.
Previously pharmaceutical process monitoring involved temperature, pressure flows, pH and other physical parameters, and now ultrasonic spectroscopy can be used forat-line testing or for fast offline testing as a primary means of ultrasonic process monitoring.
This yields data which provides information on various stages of the process.
The manufacturing process could be continuously monitored and adjustments made to ensure that the finished product would meet desired specifications.
Utrasonic scientific spectroscopy provides better knowledge of raw materials, manufacturing parameters and their impact on finished product quality, contributing to a more robust process, more uniform dissolution results, and cost savings for the manufacturer.
