Content uniformity is an essential quality measure during the production of finished dosage forms and requires the best blend uniformity, which is particularly important for ensuring consistency and uniform API concentration in the final dosage form.
Due to this growing concern, the cGMP in 21CFR 211.110 requires in-process controls to verify the uniformity and integrity of each pharmaceutical batch of the drug product. Near Infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopic methods are useful for the online assessment of powder blend homogeneity of APIs and excipients, as these methods can provide homogeneity information on the homogeneity of all mixture components.
There has been an increasing emphasis on quality by design (QbD) and the use of process analytical technology (PAT) to monitor and control pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. FDA encourages the use of new technologies and PAT techniques, such as NIR spectroscopy, for content uniformity analysis.
We have the tools required to guarantee content uniformity on your path to GMP compliance.
