Chair(s): Doug Both and George L. Reid


This year's session will focus on the drivers for PAT implementation and the resulting value they deliver in the Pharmaceutical and Bio-pharmaceutical Industry. Presentations demonstrate how companies approach development and implementation of PAT due to technically driven issues such as scale up, manufacturability and process control. Regulatory driven strategy emphasizes the impact of PAT implementation on the business. This session will explore (1) current applications, (2) the technical base to underwrite the regulatory filing strategy, (3) regulatory agency interactions, (4) the business advantages of early problem detection and continual improvement; (5) associated challenges, including technical, internal and regulatory, and strategies to overcome, (6) measured costs/benefits to implementation, including personnel time, money, and quality.

NeSSI  
Chair(s): Mel Koch and Tom Dudley


Over the past ten years there has been an increasing industrial interest in the development and application of new technology tools for enhancing global industry related initiatives such as: Quality by Design (QbD), Process Analytical Technology (PAT), Process Intensification, and Green Chemistry. One of the key developments that has enhanced advances in these areas is in the standardization of process sampling, as exemplified by NeSSITM (the New Sampling and Sensor Initiative). The Center for Process Analysis and Control 9CPAC) has provided oversight for this program. Continued developments of the NeSSITM platform have expanded its use from sampling a variety of process streams to becoming a platform for process sensors and communication to the process control systems. The data from these measurement tools contributes to developing more effective process control strategies - a goal that many companies are trying to achieve.

Chemometrics (COPA) - I  
Chair(s): Karen Bloch and Brian Rohrbach


Chemometrics has been around as a field since the early 1970s and came into routine use in the early 1990s. There is still a gap, however, between the level of effort that has been aimed at R&D and what has been implemented for process applications. To help close this gap, CPAC formed an initiative called COPA (Chemometrics for On-line Process Analytics) which relies on the IFPAC meeting as a means of communicating new approaches to use of multivariate methods for on-line and near-line quality assessments and process control. The session raises issues and combines input from analytical instrument manufacturers, software purveyors, academia and end-use industry to stimulate discussion of the field and how to best take advantage of chemometrics technology in a profitable way.

Taking Advantage of PAT for Lifecycle Quality Assurance  
Chair(s): Thomas Garcia, Pfizer and Richard L. Friedman, FDA


From clinical supply stage to mass production, there are opportunities to better characterize in-process products and modify their properties to ensure consistent output. But available technology has not been broadly exploited at this time. This session will explore how PAT can be used at any time in the product lifecycle to enhance control and improve quality assurance. When advanced technologies are applied to design products well or leverage to investigate the root cause of problems, lasting solutions can be implemented and product quality significantly improved.

Screening & Surveillance/Handheld Instrumentation  
Chair(s): John Kauffman and Paul Vahey


The Portable Hand-Held Analyzer session will generate discussion on how hand-held technologies fit into the big picture: who needs them, when to use them vs. less-portable options, and how they're deployed & supported. Portable analyzers are expanding analytical possibilities beyond the lab forcing us to re-think how we will deploy and support analyzers, collect & manage data, and generate a robust system to make decisions based on the information gained. How will we manage the new analytical labs that we used to call Shipping & Receiving, Customs, and The Factory Floor ? What is unique to handheld and portable instruments vs. traditional benchtop devices in terms of their infrastructure requirements (training & administrators), maintenance, value in the decision pathway, presentation of results, and archiving of data?
