Pharmaceutical Lab Instruments & Equipment

Pharmaceutical Laboratory Equipment

Most of us have been aware of what Pharmaceutical Laboratory equipment’s are and what their utilization is. In general, we get to know them more in our early days of college.  Most of us who deal in science and come from a science background do have a little bit of knowledge about what Pharmaceutical Laboratory looks like and what type of experiments do take place there.  Today I take the opportunity to discuss the Pharmaceutical Laboratory equipment’s in brief and I will take this perfect opportunity to throw a light at some of the uses of few of the well known equipment’s that are being used on a regular basis.

Pharmaceutical Laboratory equipment’s are of different size, shape, style and moreover uses.  There is the Bunsen burner, one of the well known apparatus which allow us to heat up the mixture when in need to a required amount of degree for performing the experiment.  Then there is the analytical balance, which works in all close proximity and allows us to take perfect weight of elements before we start the reaction in the lab.  It provides an accurate reading to us as no air is allowed to enter the close chamber for a more detailed reading.  Other than this, there are different apparatus or equipments like Vortex mixture, Oscilloscope, dasymeter, Gooch crucible, comparison microscope.  We have the other form of safety equipments that are being used for safety purposes, like gloves, goggles to protect our body parts from any hazards or accident caused by vigorous chemical reaction and getting directly in contact with the skin.  This in turn can really cause severe irritation, bleeding and other forms of trauma to our skin.  Spatulas and scoopulas are the most important equipment’s too.  They are used to dissect or check with the condition of the chemical reaction in the Pharmaceutical Laboratory when in process.  Droppers, Pipettes, Burets, tongs and forceps, balances are some of the other common forms of equipments that are generally been found in a Pharmaceutical Laboratory for experiment purposes.

These Pharmaceutical Laboratory equipment’s play a major part in the Pharmaceutical Laboratory research as these are the tools by which complex and simple chemical formulations are being directed and providing result to final outcome.  These equipment’s are found in different sizes and shapes, but whatever may be the size or shape of these equipments each one of them are as important as the other.  The more the intricacy and complex nature of the chemical formulation and process is the more the important is the right choice of these equipments means.  Some of these apparatus do cost pretty high and are very much brittle in origin.  In terms of safety, these equipments are tender and brittle in origin as mentioned and needs proper attention and care when handling them.  Overheating or extreme coldness to these apparatus that is beyond the resistance capability can create a lot of issues.  These apparatus would tend to crack and burst which can be fatal while experimenting.  Thus one must know the proper handling and the nature of the activities of these Pharmaceutical Laboratory equipment’s in order to avoid any kind of accidents or mishaps.

Pharmaceutical Lab Instruments & Equipment

Drawing a conclusion to this short brief to this topic, it is always important and mandatory to check with all these equipments prior to use.  It takes years of practice and expertise to be able to use and handle these Pharmaceutical Laboratory equipment’s perfectly and safely.  Thus it is always recommended that one must use safety devices such as gloves, goggles, protective eye-care and others in order to perform all the Pharmaceutical Laboratory activities safely.  Be always comfortable and safe while using these.

Pharmaceutical Equipment & Machinery

 When we speak about Pharmaceutical equipment & machinery we speak about endless number of equipment and machinery that are being used on a day to day basis in order to improve the quality of pharmaceutical products and its activities towards treatment.  The field of pharmaceutical requirements is huge and is tied up with different avenues which make it more important for the equipment’s and machinery to work perfectly and produce high quality of products that are error free on a whole.  Today we will be trying shredding few lights on some of the equipment and machinery in use and a little bit about how they are working.

Firstly speaking about the pharmaceutical equipment there are many different types and sizes that are found.  Each of them perform specific tasks and have their own distinct actions as well.  One of such is Homogenizer Equipment which under high pressure reduces the size of the pharmaceutical product particles and provides turbulence, impact and acceleration along with it making them more clinically effective and stable.  Then there is Pharmaceutical Drying Equipment which has the capability of gently drying of pharma ingredients especially crystallization from water by means of filter process or from one or more organic solvents.  Speaking about the pharmaceutical filling equipment, these equipment are specifically used for expediting small and large scale product manufacturing with providing constant output demands.  The equipment works on automated or semi-automated control.  Out of different types of instrument and equipment that are being used one of such equipment that have a very effective part to take place is Powder filling equipment.  These equipment are used to fill the pharmaceutical powder products.  The equipment works automatically and helps in the production.  There is the Auger filling machine as well which also works in the same way as Powder filling equipment.  There are different other equipment like spray drying accessories, syringe filling equipment, Vial filling equipment, pharmaceutical checkweighers, pharmaceutical extrusion equipment which have their own functionalities and working procedures.

Pharmaceutical Equipment & Machinery

Now speaking about Pharmaceutical machinery, the use and application of them in case of pharmaceutical products does have a high significance.  There are different types of machinery that are into use namely, Vibro sifter, Tablet Press, tableting machine, Rapid mixer granulator, Mass mixer, multi mill, coating pan, V blender, tablet making machines, tablet coating machines, sigma mixer and the list is endless.  Now where tablet press, a specific machine that is used for compressing powder into tablet and giving it a specific form and shape, Pharmaceutical Vibro sifter is used for separating different materials based on the size of their particle and use.  The tableting machine is another very important machinery that is used in the pharmaceutical production houses.  This device is used for making tablets for consumption.  Rapid mixer granulator is another important machine that is used for formation of granules by the process of rising, tumbling and whirling motion of material.  The drying machine is done by adding up all the ingredients into the RMG.  Mass mixer is used for mixing of ingredients whereas multi mill, a self contained portable unit is used for shredding, high speed granulating, mixing, pulversing and chopping purposes.  It has multifunctional working capabilities and one of the most prime machinery used in pharmaceutical production houses.

On conclusion it can be easily said that these machinery and equipment are an integral part of pharmaceutical production and without their use things would have been something very much different and difficult to handle.  These products cost very highly due to the extreme capabilities they possesses and thus needs proper guidance when handling.

Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) Determine Equipment Re-qualification Frequency

Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) Utility to Determine Equipment and Instrument Re-qualification Frequency

An Introduction to Equipment Qualification

The pharmaceutical industry induces full of experiments and it often requires conducting batch reactions using toxic or flammable materials. In many cases, complex chemical reactions are carried out with significant energy release. Such exothermic reactions processing can cause fire, explosion or runaway reaction hazards and these are quite life threatening for personnel and facilities. Equipment qualification is a critical step in overall process validation (PV), typically referred to as Stage 2A of the PV life cycle. It is outlined in many regulation and guidelines, including the FDA’s 2011 Process Validation Guidance and Annex 15 of the EU GMP, among others.

While handling the Equipment, one is likely to face the ambiguity of how often to do a given task or activity using them. It is necessary for the equipment to be periodically re-qualified if there is a performance dip with consistent working to ensure the quality of products. Here the focus is on the re-qualification decision-making framework based on the use of the preliminary hazard analysis (PHA), a tool used in quality risk management.

Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) Utility to Determine Equipment and Instrument Re-qualification Frequency

Prior to use in production or quality control testing all new equipment should require passing through all stages of qualification such as

  • Design qualification (DQ)
  • Installation qualification (IQ)
  • Operational qualification (OQ)
  • Performance qualification (PQ)

A robust equipment qualification program is appropriate based on the uses and risks of the equipment. The activities of each of these qualification steps should be well documented, to provide evidence that the equipment is fit for its intended purpose, and those records should be available for review by request.

Stages of equipment and instrument qualification

Figure 1: Stages of equipment and instrument qualification

In the figure above, if we follow the illustration we see that once the equipment has been initially qualified, the qualification program should speak to the periodic re-qualification of equipment. It is a part of implementing any changes through a defined change control process impacting the qualified state of the equipment. Based on the criticality of the equipment used in production or on the quality control testing of products the extent of the re-qualification should be done.  Documentation of the periodic review of pertinent data is indispensable to confirm that a process/method/system continues to consistently produce a result meeting predetermined acceptance criteria.

PRINCIPLES OF QUALITY RISK MANAGEMENT

Two primary principles of quality risk management in the pharmaceutical industry are:

  • The risk evaluation of quality should be based on scientific knowledge and concern about the protection of the personnel and facilities.
  • The quality risk management process should be commensurate with the level of risk with respect to the level of effort, formality, and documentation.

ICH Q9 on Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA)

As continuing to the question of “When or at what frequency should the periodic review is performed?”  How should one structure the program to help the user determine when to perform the review? What guidelines to follow to create this aspect of the qualification program?

The answer to these is to perform the ICH Q9 (Quality Risk Management) – the risk management tool PHA. According to ICH Q9, the definition of PHA is that it is a tool to analyse hazardous situations and events that might cause harm, to estimate probable hazards in occurrence for a given activity, facility, product or system based on applying prior experience or knowledge of a hazard or failure to identify future hazards.

The tool consists of the following components:

  • identification of the possibilities that the risk event happens
  • qualitative evaluation of the extent of possible injury or damage to health as an outcome
  • using a combination of severity and likelihood of occurrence, relative ranking of the hazard is given
  • the detection of the possible remedial measures

Figure 2 denotes the PHA worksheet. If we can build a worksheet to organize the analysis and assist with the facilitation of the activities, the PHA tool could essentially address all the review of the parameters, as well as correlate the risk priority ranking to a periodic review frequency for the subject equipment.

It requires team expertise in the quality risk management process, how to use the PHA tool, scoring criteria, and key definitions. It generally consists of equipment owners, process owners, and quality assurance to perform the analysis possessing a strong understanding of the whole hazard analysis. The inputs of each column to the worksheet are directed and provided by a two-step triage approach using risk blocks scored against criteria as high, medium, and low rankings as in Tables 1, 2, and 3.

Figure 2: PHA worksheet example

The preliminary risk class based on severity and probability (or occurrence) was first determined as in Figure 3.

Risk priority ranking

Risk priority ranking

Table 4: Example of Periodic Review Frequency

Further the hazard parameters are evaluated against detect-ability, resulting in a risk priority ranking (Figure 4). It correlates to the periodic review frequency for the subject equipment (Table 4). Once the worksheet is completed with input from team members, the periodic review frequencies should be reviewed and agreed to by all. The following PHA worksheet (Figure 5) provides an example of a completed analysis activity.

Figure 5: PHA worksheet example — completed analysis activity

 

PHA worksheet example — completed analysis activity
PHA worksheet example — completed analysis activity

Inferences drawn about how this method of hazard analysis can be beneficial

  • The PHA tool enables to build a usable worksheet allowing all members of the team to participate in the risk analysis activity to provide subject matter expertise, voice concerns, and promote issues for further discussion.
  • Additionally, by facilitating the team meetings, time schedules were managed and those issues that were a challenge were tabled and discussed offline.
  • At the end of each completed worksheet, team members provide feedback regarding the risk analysis activity noting the efficient use of time, effective use of risk management tools, and delivery of risk priority rankings for subject equipment in correlation with the periodicity frequency.
  • Therefore, using a risk management tool such as PHA, a periodic review frequency can be identified and applied to qualified equipment. This enables a timely recheck of the equipment by means of pertinent data like manufacturing performance trend data, change history, and/or deviation history and that in turn would help in assuring consistent production results meeting the predetermined acceptance criteria.

Tablet Making Machine

In today’s date “tablets” h0old an essential part of our life.  Most of us consume tablets everyday be it a teenager, middle aged or an old man.  Now consumption of tablets has become a part of our life for most of us if not all.  Looking back at the process of making tablets in the Industry, it is a typical process and passes through certain phases before it is completely done and sealed pack for selling.  Today we will be hereby discussing how tablets making machine is helping to make tablets in short and a precise way.

Tablet Making Machine India – Cost Price Manual

The process

The tablet making machine is generally known as the Tablet Press and consists of two different types mainly.  One is known as the single-punch and another is called the rotary tablet presses.  The punches and dies used for making tablets come in different variety of sizes, shapes, designs and can be easily customized according to need and generally is manufactured with manufacturer codes and scoring lines which makes it more easier for the user to break the tablet at once.  Now depending on the size, shape, material and configuration of the press, the machine (press) can produce from around 250,000 to over 1,000,000 tablets an hour on a general basis as per stats obtained from various production houses.  Now speaking about its mechanism, tablet presses work in a very high speed and takes the form of a rotating turret.  It simply holds number of punches as customized before production.  Once it starts to rotate around the turret, the punches come close in contact with the cams in use and control the punches in a vertical position for the tablets to get manufactured.

The tablet press that we are speaking of here has a simple mechanism to work with.  The main objective of the machine or device is to compresses powder into tablets which comes out in a uniform manner in terms of shape, size and weight as per the requirement of the production house.  The press has got a high potential and generally used to manufacture tablets of different types in conjunction to the variety of materials used.  This can include illicit drugs, pharmaceuticals, cleaning products and cosmetics as well.  The granulated material in order to be given a proper shape into a tablet is firstly metered into a cavity form.  This is done by the use of two punches and a die.  Once this is done, the punches are pressed together with great force.  This in return fuses the materials together giving a shape of a tablet.  For most of the tablet press machines the most integral part of it remains the same ie.  Hopper, Die, Punches, Cam track and feeding mechanism.

Different types of machine

Now speaking about tablet press and its actions, it is has been found that this tablet making machine comes in two different variants.  One is called the single station or eccentric press and another is the multiple station or popularly known as the rotary tablet press.  The Single station is relatively compact in nature to that of the multiple one and is basically easier to operate among the two in comparison.  It is used to produce chewable tablets, Effervescent and other compressed tablets.  Whereas speaking about the multiple station, its setting up is much more streamlined and can be fined tuned for more customization than that of the two with much higher production rate and obviously the capability of it is immense when compared.  The machine has capability of ejecting, filling and removal of the tablet as well after compression procedure.

Depending on type of mixing we can categorize the procedures accordingly which are as follows:

  • Liquid-liquid mixing

There are different types of mixtures used for mixing liquid with liquid in the pharmaceutical production units.  This process is quite complex and requires additional monitoring.  There are different types of mixers used for this purpose namely, Shaker mixers, Propeller mixers, Paddle mixers, Turbine mixers, sonic and ultrasound devices such as Rapisonic homogenizer.  These equipment are uses for manufacturing antacid suspensions, different emulsions, anti-diarrhoeal mixtures and other such pharmaceutical products.

  • Solid-solid mixing

For solid to solid mixing of pharmaceutical products there are different types of equipments in use on a general basis.  This includes Agitator mixers, Tumbling mixers, Double cone mixers, and V-blenders and others.  These equipments are generally used for mixing of dry (solid base) powders.  These are mainly used for making tablets of various types and sizes.

  • Semi-solid mixing

Then there is semi to solid mixing equipment perfectly designed for this specific purpose also.  For this purpose there are different types of Agitator mixers that are in use like sigma mixers and planetary mixers.  Other than this there is Shear mixer like triple roller mills and colloidal mills as well.  These are basically used for wet granulation procedure while manufacturing tablets and also in the production of ointments as well.  Sigma mixture can also be used in case of solid to solid mixing as well.

Other than the above mixing equipment there are different types of mixtures that are also in use while making up of Pharmaceutical products.  These include tumbling mixer.  These are close vessel mixer rotating about its axis.  They are basically found in double cone, V-mixer and rotating cube as well.  Here the quality of mixing is limited and works on diffusive mixing mechanism.

Then comes Convective mixers which is accompanied with some diffusive and shear mixing.  This machine works typically less than 60 rpm.  Here ribbon blenders are used on a horizontal axis in a static cylinder set on a circular pattern within in a static shell.  Paddles or rotating blades are used in this machine.

Other important pharmaceutical mixing equipments include Conical screw mixer, Muller mixer, Pug mill, Pan mixer, Change can mixer, Banbury mixer and the list is endless.

On a whole it can be easily said that these different types of mixing equipment are used in order to serve different purposes and to obtain a specific result in the pharmaceutical product manufacturing.  Most of these mixers work on a very complex process and generally have an automatic procedure to work on.  This really is a complex process and needs lot of understand and one must go through years of experience in order to progress and handle these types of machine with care and in a right way.  Without prior knowledge about these type of machine, handling can really be difficult and would produce inverse reaction to the pharmaceutical process.  Most of these equipment are built in a specific way according to their way of action and mostly are brittle in nature and use of pharmaceutical mixing equipments can really be challenging.
