Emerging technologies are quickly playing a greater role in how the Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences Industry collects, stores and interprets its data. Mixed Reality platforms are becoming more widespread in the application of displaying andinterrogating this data. This paper summarises the trials of an initiative supported by KENX USA, TU Dublin and BioPharmaChem Ireland (BPCI). […]

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently proposed dramatic changes to the current Computerized System Validation (CSV) approach that is being used by most companies in the Life Science Industry. Although not yet released, the proposed Computer Software Assurance for Manufacturing, Operations, and Quality System (CSA) guidance will assist manufacturers overcome several barriers to […]

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a cloud computing delivery model that promises various benefits, but also comes with unique risks. The life science sector has very slow cloud adoption rate. One of the potential reasons for this phenomenon, as highlighted by GAMP Cloud Special Interest Group (SIG ) is the lack of regulatory and […]

Successful product validation depends on operational readiness: facility and equipment, development knowledge with thorough analytical and process design documentation, trained cross functional staff at the manufacturing site and a robust formulation and process. Prior to the validation phase, successful technical transfer must be completed with robust information transfer from development to manufacturing. The validation process […]

This paper addresses how to qualify a Biological Safety Cabinet(BSC) and includes a description for Installation and Operational Tests that should be included as part of the Qualification process. Despite having robust design and environmental monitoring, cleanrooms are at risk for several sources of contamination. In this case, BSCs, if purchased with much consideration, are […]
