"Each gram saved is a real gain and we can now perform much better in a sector where high quality is crucial."

Hubert Müller, Process Engineer, Siemens Axiva GmbH.  


Fundamental to pharmaceutical drug development and production is that "Every patient is special" . Strict regulatory requirements and quality control of actives, excipients, intermediates and raw materials exist to ensure that this simple edict is fulfilled. Malvern Process Systems (MALPS) offers particle sizing solutions that allow you to:

Reduce time to market through improved process understanding using the same analyzer from pilot to production
Improve process reliability through better understanding of unit operation performance in accordance with PAT

Meet pharmaceutical industry standards and guidelines including PAT, GAMP4, CIP/SIP, 21 CFR Part 11, validation and IS
Eliminate operator exposure to highly toxic compounds through containment
Improve startup and shutdown performance to reduce improve yield of batch processes using high value materials
