2 2 3 understand and control your critical processes The current need for higher efficiency, lower cost of poor quality (COPQ) and faster time-to-market creates multiple pressures on pharmaceutical development and manufacturing organizations. It s becoming clear that better understanding and control of processes provides opportunities to develop better quality products and reduce operational costs in many areas. And that s exactly why many major pharmaceutical companies are using PerkinElmer s range of Near-Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy products to help them achieve: Right-first-time formulation development Reduced scale-up delays and costs Faster time-to-market Faster troubleshooting Reduced raw material, work-in-progress and final product inventories Reduced cost of poor quality Counterfeit detection Advance warning of out-of-specification materials Faster product release NIR Spectroscopy is the ideal technique to implement at multiple points across your organization. It s fast, non-destructive, requires no special skills or sample preparation and pays back the initial investment rapidly. Industry regulators are convinced that NIR Spectroscopy is important too. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is supporting NIR implementation and has put in place a series of initiatives to encourage wider adoption in pharmaceutical development and manufacturing organizations. NIR Spectroscopy is also seen as a key measurement technique for process analytical technology (PAT) development. As a leading supplier of analytical instruments to the pharmaceutical industry, PerkinElmer offers a broad range of technologies for development and manufacturing.

NIR Spectroscopy Each molecule s functional groups absorb Mid-IR radiation to generate a characteristic absorption or transmission spectrum that is typically rich in information and unique to that molecule. Spectra can be analyzed or searched against libraries of reference spectra to positively identify unknown materials. In the Mid-IR range, bands are often strong and samples may require dilution or thinning in order to measure usable spectra. In the Near-IR range, however, absorptions are due to overtones and combination bands of fundamental vibrations and are much weaker and broader. While spectra are less easy to interpret, a major advantage is that sample preparation is not required. This means that samples like pharmaceutical tablets can be analyzed directly and non-destructively. There are several types of NIR spectrometer, each suited to different applications. For highthroughput, in-process measurements, simple A comparison between Mid-IR and NIR Spectroscopy Features and Benefits how it works Mid-IR Spectroscopy filter instruments are often used successfully. Dispersive NIR spectrometers have also been used for QA/QC measurements. However, for materials quality and product development measurements in the lab or at-line, Fourier- Transform Near-IR (FT-NIR) Spectroscopy is now firmly established as the technology of choice. FT-NIR instruments have a wider operating range and work at higher spectral resolution, providing a wealth of important information not available to old-technology dispersive NIR systems.

4 Near-IR Utilizing the latest advances in FT-NIR technology, the tablet autosampler offers a new approach to improving process and product quality in pharmaceutical tablet manufacturing. Rapid, non-destructive, whole-tablet analyses deliver vital information about active content and batch uniformity, meeting the demands of the industry and its regulators. The tablet autosampler can be deployed at many points throughout the development and manufacturing cycle, from formulation development to final product release. Incorporation of NIR measurements into a method during development or scale-up enables tighter control of quality, less waste and reduced rework costs during full-scale manufacture.

Results Browser File Edit View Tools Help Sample View: My Views - MyView1 Database Results FT-NIR tablet analysis at scale-up delivers significant savings during full production A major pharmaceutical company implemented FT-NIR tablet analysis in their production facility in order to better understand and control a tablet scale-up manufacturing process. After pressing and coating, samples were analyzed to measure active concentration and uniformity of composition across a production run. Using an AssureID PLS (Principal Least Squares) model, which had been built using 20 calibration samples and 60 validation samples of varying concentrations, batches of 10 tablets were analyzed.

The standard deviation gives a measure of the uniformity of the blend. Further studies enabled the measurement and control of tablet potency and blend uniformity: During the run of a tablet press Between runs of a tablet press Between tablet presses With differing blend conditions Overall, significant savings in scrap and rework cost were made when the tablet was transferred to full production. Further studies using FT-NIR include the measurement of moisture content, coating thickness and tablet hardness, promising further process improvements and cost savings. 7

Tablet stability studies Spectrum Spotlight offers blending process insight to improve quality and address regulatory concerns A major pharmaceutical company employed FT-NIR Imaging to gain insight into the blending process in tablet production. measurements on the active concentration showed that some batches exhibited poor content uniformity without any obvious reason. Dry powder electrostatic coating analysis The Spectrum Spotlight 350 system was used to investigate Spectrum Spotlight 350 FT-NIR Imaging System In tablet production, the microscopic distribution of ingredients is known to impact important quality parameters such as dissolution, stability, bio-availability and hardness. However, to date there have been no convenient techniques that can provide this information, which means that the blending and tabletting processes are often poorly understood, adversely affecting product quality. In both formulation development areas and the process analytical support functions, it is essential to be able to identify anomalous distribution of ingredients. FT-NIR imaging is rapidly being implemented by major Key Benefits Seamless automation simplifies setup and measurement, increasing productivity and reducing errors. Two-in-one detector enables single-point microscopy as well as IR imaging, allowing microcontaminants in products and packaging to be identified in seconds. Powerful built-in data processing routines automate data analysis and provide quick answers. Superb visible image quality ensures accurate and easy sample inspection. User-defined sampling area and aspect ratio allows you to match the image size to the sample size. Counterfeit detection Contamination identification Packaging development Transdermal patches and related delivery systems Chemical images of active distribution (red). Upper row: good blend uniformity. Lower row: poor blend uniformity. blends from good batches and problem batches. Samples were taken from the top, middle and bottom of the blender for each batch and images generated and compared for each. The images showing the distribution of the active component were particularly significant, showing clear differences between good and problem batches. In addition it was noted that the original active particle size was 11 m before blending, whereas aggregates times larger were observed after blending. This was thought to be an example of overmixing, in which particles attract each other to form large aggregates, having a detrimental effect on final product quality because the active ingredient cannot be uniformly distributed between tablets in the batch. pharmaceutical companies to help solve these and many other manufacturing problems. Full-range imaging from cm -1 covers the most information-rich areas of the spectrum, maximizing applications flexibility. In this example the new information provided by FT-NIR Imaging allowed process optimization and significant quality improvement, reducing costs and addressing regulatory concerns. Image pixel sizes of either 6.25 x 6.25 m or 25 x 25 m are available.
