    Figure 1: ()   Selection of a CMO is critical to biologic drug development; and the primary selection criterion is experience. How do biotech companies measure experience? CMO experience can be measured in many ways — primary metrics include (1) total number of GMP processes developed by a CMO; (2) number of projects involving your strain; (3) number of projects involving your product type; (4) GMP production success rate; (5) total number of GMP lots produced; and (6)…

          The goal: Develop a CGMP formulation–fill process for a subunit vaccine–aluminum adjuvant complex. The challenge: To engineer a scaled-up process for vaccine–adjuvant suspension formulation and fill, ensuring a uniform fill per dose as well as a sterile product. The outcome: Florida Biologix scientists successfully developed the manufacturing, formulation–fill process and test methods. The process was conducted successfully in a scaled-down engineering run and at full scale, and 2,500 vials were tested, released, and shipped to…

The FDA has been focusing effort into evaluation of potential adulteration of drug products due to contact with packaging and closure systems, sample delivery devices, and components used in product manufacturing. Packaging includes components such as vials, caps, and stoppers. Drug delivery devices include nebulizers and inhalers. Components used during product manufacturing include filters, tubing, fittings, connectors, bioprocess bags, and bioreactors. Lancaster laboratories provides support by performing extractables and leachables testing. Extractables are compounds that can be extracted from a…
