Pharmaceutical Process QC
The US Food and Drug Administration’s Process Analytical Technology (PAT) Initiative offers an unprecedented opportunity for chemical process equipment manufacturers to expand their product offerings into a growing high-demand market.

As the pharmaceutical industry shifts its focus from drug discovery to efficient drug production, driven by offshore competition in manufacturing and the largest "baby boom" demand in history, process optimization offers fresh new challenges for monitoring and control.

Pharmaceutical Applications

  • Micro-reactor monitoring
  • Fermentation processes
  • End-point determination
  • Feed stock integrity
  • Detection of residues in batch processing

    Distributed sensors offer many advantages over mainframe PMS in a pharmaceutical manufacturing environment. (See: Chemical Process Monitoring.)
