Laboratories are fast-paced, efficient work areas that require accurate data and confidence in your equipment, including your sample labels. A lost or damaged label can throw a lab's work into chaos. Losing this invaluable data means unknown variables now exist, such as sample contents, expiration, and impact on any other lab elements. That is why damaged labels will result in destroyed samples and lost work.

The rise of a more patient-centric, value-based healthcare environment gives the pharmaceutical industry a chance to find a new role and take a new seat at the table, says Gérard Klop of Vintura Consultancy.
The party’s over for traditional models of healthcare delivery. As populations continue to age and develop comorbidities, all players in the healthcare sector need to plan a more holistic approach to healthcare that involves issues such as wellness, pre-emptive interventions, and earlier targeting and tracking. Although daunting, this also gives the pharma industry an opportunity to establish a new role for itself. The major players are well aware that the days of simply supplying pills are over. Pharmaceutical organisations need to become more deeply embedded in delivering and monitori…

Pharmaceutical excipients can be classified into natural, semi-synthetic and fully synthetic compounds according to their sources.
Pharmaceutical excipients refer to the substances used in the production and formulation of medicines. They perform multiple functions in pharmaceutical preparations and are likely to affect the quality, safety and effectiveness of drugs. Pharmaceutical excipients can be classified into natural, semi-synthetic and fully synthetic compounds according to their sources. And based on their use, excipients can be divided into diluents, binders, disintegrants, lubricants, glidants and anti-caking agents, wetting agents and solubilizers. Among all varieties of excipients, how to select the most appropriate ones for a specific drug formulation project? The guidelines be…

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has announced that the UNICOM’s DADI (Digital Application Dataset Integration) project will now be used for the implementation of regulatory data submissions. Amplexor’s Renato Rjavec looks at what this entails for pharma companies.
A more data-driven way of managing regulated product data, based on agreed standards, is the future of pharma. But the EMA’s decision means that for now, regulatory teams will have to manually manage data in two repositories – both information populated via DADI web forms, and the fuller data sets held within their own internal RIM systems. Nevertheless, although the announcement was a disappointment to some, leveraging the parallel DADI project relieves pressure on the pharma industry. DADI, which has been running in parallel…

Errors sometimes occur during drug development, but if pharma companies apply only a temporary solution to the problem, they risk repeating the same mistakes. Helen Lowe at Arriello outlines a best-practice approach that ensures the errors of the past are not repeated.
For companies to improve their performance, they have to understand their failures. But deep understanding requires more than just making a bit more effort – it needs a change of mindset where failures are not seen as problems but as opportunities for improvement. Establishing a Corrective Action Preventive Action (CAPA) programme benefits a company in many different ways. A well-designed CAPA programme can enhance and improve a company’s relationships with its clients and vendors, at the same time as cutting costs and reduci…

Since the peptide library provides a powerful tool for drug development, protein-protein interactions, and other biochemical as well as pharmaceutical applications, the total peptide library becomes a productive tool as it enjoys higher stability because of the special structure of the peptide bond. Additionally, its construction cycle is relatively short compared with traditional peptide library construction technologies, accelerating the development of peptides drugs.
Peptides with low molecular weight have been known to be less allergenic and the diverse physiological roles of peptides make them suitable candidates for the development of therapeutic agents. Peptide drugs are widely used in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and AIDS. However, t…

It takes at least ten years for a new medicine to reach market, with clinical trials alone taking up to seven years. But drug developers, particularly those developing vaccines, have had to work much quicker in recent times. Could industry maintain this momentum, and develop pharmaceutical products faster? Here, Dave Walsha, sales manager at precision drive system supplier, Electrical Mechanical Systems (EMS), explores how micromotors are helping drug discovery.

The healthcare industry is expanding rapidly in the U.K., the U.S., France, Germany, Japan, China, and Singapore.
This is mainly credited to the surging prevalence of chronic diseases, soaring adoption of healthcare insurance, burgeoning requirement for in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests, mushrooming population of geriatric people, increasing gross domestic product (GDP) and healthcare expenditure, growing implementation of several government initiatives aimed at enhancing healthcare services, rapid digitization in the healthcare ecosystem, and improving healthcare infrastructure. The soaring population of geriatric people is one of the major growth drivers of the healthcare industry. This is because geriatric people are highly vulnerable to various chronic diseases such as neurological condi…

Therapeutic proteins and oral vaccines have a wide range of applications and serve the needs of patients most in need of new therapeutics.
Therapeutic proteins and oral vaccines have a wide range of applications and serve the needs of patients most in need of new therapeutics. For instance, these medicines can treat inflammation, cancer, exposure to infectious agents, and genetic disorders. Furthermore, the advancement of protein-engineering technologies has allowed drug developers and manufacturers to fine-tune desired functional characteristics. As a result, they can improve both safety and efficacy. The development of therapeutic proteins and oral vaccines is a complex process. For instance, manufacturing a single protein drug involves over 5,000 steps, compared to as few as ten for a s…

Without doubt one of the biggest issues facing community pharmacy right now is staffing challenges. It’s a problem that is impacting pharmacies across the UK. In this blog Centred Solution’s Managing Director and pharmacist, Paul O’Hanlon, explains why he believes technology can play a crucial role in addressing the problem.
The figures speak for themselves. In 2019 the first national workforce survey in Wales showed a vacancy rate of 6% for pharmacy[1]. A year later a similar survey in Scotland saw double that with a vacancy rate of 12%[2]. In England a workforce report from Health Education England showed the pharmacy vacancy rate had doubled to 8% in just four years[3]. Further research from the Company Chemist’ Association found that a shortage of over 3000 community pharmacists had dev…
