(more…)Purity is the absence of contaminants in a substance. Matter is more efficient when pure, and there are different methods to determine if a substance is pure. Here’s a brief look at how chemical purity is determined.
(more…)Everyone who works closely with drugs knows the importance of properly dispensing pharmaceuticals. Mistakes can cause harm to a consumer’s well-being if manufacturers and storage facilities don’t follow strict protocols.
Continue reading to understand the crucial role temperature plays in cGMP API storage. This article will provide insight into this aspect of the pharma industry.
(more…)Understanding chemistry can be challenging. Maybe you’re new to the chemistry world and trying to understand the relationship between HPLC and non-GLP compounds. But what are HPLC and non-GLP? This blog post will help explain more regarding the subject.
(more…)Food safety affects everyone. You may or may not have heard of the acronym GMP. It’s a system that ensures products meet strict standards. A lot goes into it, and different industries utilize GMP certifications.
(more…)Every GMP-certified pharmaceutical manufacturer will encounter an audit for their GMP certification at some point. Things change, so these audits hold every business accountable. This is especially important in pharmaceuticals, as pharmaceutical quality affects consumers who take medication.
Sometimes, however, companies fail their GMP certification—find out the common reasons this happens below.
(more…)Metabolism describes how the body reacts to, breaks down, and uses various substances. In the context of pharmaceuticals, the body’s metabolism is what changes the chemical structure of a drug. This either renders the drug inactive so the body can excrete it or activates the drug to provide the desired effect on the body.
