New, interesting, important
- Pharmaceutical production as a dynamic process
Biotechnological production of medically efficacious substances is the latest and most dynamic segment in pharmaceutical production. » - Upstream processing - Constantly optimal: documented raw materials in upstream processes
Bacteriological fermentation and cell-culturing processes are important factors in the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals. » - Downstream processing
The production of biopharmaceuticals, such as monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, vaccines and nucleic acids, requires special techniques, equipment and raw materials. Downstream processing of these biomolecules plays a key role in the production of biotherapeutic drugs. »
Applications/products
- Air monitoring - For clean air
The need for effective microbial air monitoring increases in all areas where airborne microorganisms could affect or contaminate industrial products or processes. » - European Pharmacopoeia - Rigorously tested solvents
Merck's range of rigorously tested solvents is particularly suitable for pharmaceutical production, because product safety is one of the most important aspects in the development and production of active pharmaceutical ingredients. New regulations and ever more stringent quality requirements for drug substances and products form the basis and crux of safety for patients and consumers. » - Focus on pharmaceutical excipients: Parteck® LUB stearate – A new addition to the Parteck family
