Products passing testing

The manufacture of drugs depends on the starting materials, manufacturing processes, building, equipment and personnel involved, it is not sufficient that the finished product passes testing protocols, but quality must be built into the product. 

Examples of their results [154] are shown in the set of curves in Fig. 13. At a given humidity, the Co concentration increases with T the thermal activation energy is about 0.4 eV. At a given temperature, the corrosion increases with an increase in humidity. As the humidity changes from 30 to 90%, the corrosion rate increases about an order of magnitude. The data allow a calculation of the acceleration factors for a variety of conditions. For example, the acceleration factor for 90°C/90% RH with respect to 30°C/40% RH is calculated to be 150. If the product passes a 2-week exposure to 90 °C/90% RH, the test indicates that it will survive in excess of 6 years at 30 °C/40% RH. The values of the acceleration factors, however, may vary from film to film. 

What, then, is the conscientious executive to do The most reasonable course for him would be to employ a heavy additional risk premium when evaluating any chemical that meets all presently known tests and that shows strong commercial potential. If the product passes even this hurdle, it may still eventually encounter regulatory difficulties, but the chances are high that it will have repaid its development cost and produced a profit for the company by the time these difficulties emerge. The impact of such a "regulatory risk premium" would be to slow—but not necessarily stop—new product development. 

At the second stage, the 110th and the 215th ordered individual ratios are the lower and upper limits, respectively, of the 90% confidence interval for the ratio of the median in vitro release rate (slope) for T over the median in vitro release rate for R. If this confidence interval falls within the limits of 75% to 133.33%, the product passes the test at the second stage. 

The determination of the properties of transition states of reacting molecules. Much of the theory of the rate of chemical reactions is based on the notion that the transformation from reactant to products passes through a particular geometry of the excited reactant molecule, called the transition state. Until recently there were no experimental tools with which the transition state could be studied, but it is now possible to determine some of the properties of transition states and thereby test theoretical models of the photochemical reaction. 

How complex is the system Would the user immediately detect any problem For example, if a system is producing three forms, and the user can immediately detect the wrong form, the extent of validation may be minimal. Conversely, if the system were performing complex calculations to determine if a product passes or fails product safety tests, and there is no simple way to check these calculations, the extent of validation would be greater. 

Experiment 93. — Method. Pass carbon dioxide over hot charcoal, collect over water the gaseous product, and test it. 

The Test for Sterility is vulnerable to false-positive and false-negative results. A false-positive means that a genuinely sterile product fails the test because of incidental contamination during the preparation of the sample or during the Test. A false-negative means that a non-sterile product passes the Test because viable contaminants fail to grow. 

What do the environmental monitoring data look like Did the product pass a sterility test (The results of environmental monitoring—including operator touch plates and EM data for the facility, air, water, and equipment—are more important... 

Boron compounds can be added in combination with other chemicals such as nitrogen and phosphorus. A solution containing sodium tripolyphosphate, boric acid, and ammonia provides a ready-to-use treatment on cellulose products such as plywood, fiberboard, and cardboard (87). The resulting products passed the British Standard 476, Section 6 (Fire Propagation test) Class 0 and Class I requirements of the British Standard Section 7 (Surface Spread of Flame). 

The separation of the Rh-distearylamine-TPPTS catalyst system by membranes was tested on pilot plant scale with crude aldehyde from the hydroformylation of DCP. Figure 2 shows the principle of the membrane separation step. Within the module, the mixture of crude oxoaldehyde, toluene, free ligands, and the Rh catalyst complex coming from the reactor is parallel- pumped to the surface of the membrane. Only aldehyde and higher-boiling products pass through the membrane. The concentrate of Rh complex and ligands is recycled back to the reactor. 

The product passed all quality and stability tests according to the submitted specifications. 

A sterile product incorporated a preservative system to cover withdrawal of a multidose liquid product. The product passed the USP XX microbial challenge test when first made and packed. After six months it was noticed that the level of ethylenediamine tetra acetate (EDTA) had significantly reduced, possibly by chelation with heavy metals + surface adsorption onto the plastic. A repeat microbial challenge test was not passed. It was theorised that this was due to slight preservative loss coupled to the loss of EDTA which tended to enhance the preservative efficacy, i.e. a chemical + physical change (preservative adsorption) had created a drop in preservative efficacy. Changing the EDTA/preservative levels was subsequently necessary in order to meet the microbial challenge test over the full shelf-life period. 

It is not sufficient that the finished product passes laboratory tests the whole manufacturing process must be under tight control and the need to qualify equipment and validate sterilising processes (see Glossary) assumes singular importance, not least because of the limitations of official tests for sterility .
