Active ingredients used in the pharmaceutical industry contain impurities that result from chemical reactions. These reactions produce colored by-products. These are removed using activated carbon. This is necessary to maintain the purity of the drug.
Drugs may also contain dissolved solids that need to be reduced in order to comply with product quality standards and ensure safety as well.
Controlling bioburden is important to improve processes in the pharmaceutical industry. Endotoxin and bioburden reduction leads to clarification of process streams.
Sterilizing grade filtration requires robust filters that are designed by regulatory authorities in accordance with the established standards ( like retaining specific microbes etc. ).
Solvents and chemicals are used in bulk for production of active ingredients in pharmaceutical industries. These chemicals contain particulates which are removed by filtration. The process of chemical and solvent filtration ensures the quality of the product.
The stability chambers are made as per cGMP and GLP requirements. Walk-in stability chambers are used for stability studies (checking stability of a drug under different environmental conditions).
