The benefits of refractive index (RI) in development and production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs)

In this 1-hour webinar with Vaisala, Liquid Measurements’ Pharma Industry Expert Juha Paldanius and Application Engineer Daniela Kokkonen, we present real customer cases on how in-line process refractometer can be used as a PAT tool for standardizing and scaling-up APIs production. The participants will learn how RI measurement technology is commonly applied in pharmaceutical reaction, separation and purification, solvent swap, and crystallization operations – first in laboratory and pilot scales and finally in full-scale commercialized production.

API manufacturers are more increasingly moving towards continuous manufacturing and advancing the PAT framework, which guides the pharmaceutical development, manufacturing and quality assurance. PAT also promotes the adoption of real-time measurements throughout the entire process. The ability to understand and continuously measure and control parameters, such as Refractive Index (RI) or liquid concentration can contribute significantly to more efficient development and manufacturing of the APIs.

As an added benefit, the scalability of the K-PATENTS® RI technology helps the drug manufacturers to streamline development and improve product reliability throughout the complete process analysis.
