Customising the Cold Chain
|
|
Of all the statistics emerging around the global pharmaceutical industry
this year, two big numbers capture the attention of both manufacturers
and their logistics partners: $248 billion, the amount the “BRIC”
nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China) are poised to account for in
pharmaceutical sales for by 2016; and $8 billion, the amount global
pharma will spend on cold chain logistics in 2014. Why are these two
numbers so noteworthy? They demonstrate that as R&D goes, so goes
logistics. As products evolve to meet demands for more targeted
therapies, demand for more targeted logistics solutions grows as well.
And that means a need for customization for everything from clinical
trial samples to finished product.

Detecting Integrity Breaches in a range of Pharmaceutical Blister Package Types using Sepha VisionScan
Sepha Limited
Demonstrating the integrity of pharmaceutical blister packs is critically important, as any defects can affect the shelf life and efficacy of the contents. Compared to bulk packaging, blister packs offer improved product integrity, tamper evidence and reduce the likelihood of misuse. Packs can be composed of either a thermoformed polymer or cold formed aluminium tray, with a number of individual pockets to hold the product. After the tablets or capsules are placed in the pockets, the packs are heat sealed with a paper or foil laminate sheet. These various stages can be completed separately or integrated into a single form, fill and seal process. There is a risk of microbial containment or degradation of the contents if any defects are present in the packaging. Such defects can take the form of rips or pinholes in the tray, or lid materials, faulty seals and channel leaks between pockets.
