The Power of Simulations: How to Harness Data for Informed Decision-Making

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / ss_admin

In the dynamic landscape of decision-making, data takes center stage. However, challenges such as incomplete data, prolonged decision timelines, and resource loss due to delays are significant hurdles. This is where simulations come into play – a strategic approach empowering decision-makers to test scenarios, assess outcomes, and make informed choices. Impact of simulations Simulation helps […]

Bioreactor Characterization – Asset Library

Leave a Comment / Blog / ss_admin

Before we get into what’s the need for an Asset Library, let’s revisit the importance of Asset Characterization in technology transfer and Scale Up Process! Asset Characterization is an important step in determining the process performance capability of an equipment. Using Computational Tools / Software to characterize assets has reduced considerable time in planning future projects. Asset

Asset Characterization with Interactive Webapps

Leave a Comment / Blog / ss_admin

Webapps are a great tool to create an interactive interface to visualizing the interaction of Process Parameters (PP), Process Metrics (PM) and Quality Attributes (QA). Let’s say we have a database of assets with it’s credential information and operating parameters. Next step is to access the information in an organized form, and an interactive webapp

Scale-up of Bioreactors: Revisiting the Heuristics

Leave a Comment / Blog / ss_admin

“It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects.” -Nikola

What exactly is Feature Engineering ?

Leave a Comment / Blog / ss_admin

The goal is to turn data into information, and information into insight. – Carly Fiorina, Ex – C.E.O Helwett-Packard What exactly is Feature Engineering ? Feature Engineering (FE) involves leveraging techniques to analyze data, along with domain knowledge to crystallize information and actionable insights. When data is interpreted in a different way than conventional, it

Process Metrics: The Keystone of Process Understanding

Leave a Comment / Blog / ss_admin

Process metrics or PMs, are characteristics of a pharmaceutical process that are critical to ensuring product quality and process performance. They are characteristics of the processing ‘micro-environment’ for a given unit operations equipment or ‘process asset’. Generally speaking, maintaining these CPMs at the same (or nearly same) values across scales is a necessary condition for

Asset Characterization: Digital Nameplating of Assets

Blog / ss_admin

Asset characterization is an important step in determining the process performance capability of a given unit operations equipment. As we saw in an earlier post, it forms the backbone of process understanding and science-driven development/transfer. Lets recap things a bit here: Asset Characterization: The What ….. Staying with the CPPs, CMAs and CPMs, we have

Process Signatures: How can you stop worrying & start loving Scale Up

Leave a Comment / Blog / ss_admin

Process signatures capture the scale-independent relationships for a given unit operation or unit process. They represent scale-up or transfer rules that can be used to seamlessly move processes from one equipment to another, from site to another etc. Process signatures are based on the tenet that achieving process similarity is the same as achieving similarity
