4. HALF-DAY PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
Tuesday 19th July 2011
Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, Singapore
1.30pm – 5.00pm
Selection and Processing
of Packaging Components
In association with West Pharmaceutical Services Singapore
Overview of Workshop
The packaging components that come in direct contact
with the drug in the PFS is of paramount importance. This
is because it may interact with the pharmaceutical
preparation be it the drug or excipients.
The fitness of the components with the barrel would also
affect the sterility and integrity of the final system.
In selecting the packaging components, the suitability of
formulation to ensure its compatibility with the drug must
be evaluated.
Consideration over the processing of the components, in
ensuring its cleanliness must also be made. For a
pharmaceutical manufacturer, the cost consideration
must be taken in selecting off the shelf components that
have been washed and processed to make your unique
requirements. For those where the drug is expensive
where rejections due to a defective component is
unacceptable, development of a mutually agreeable
specification must be considered. This workshop deals
with the subjects from the perspective of a pharmaceutical
manufacturer.
