PRESENTATION & DISCUSSION FORUM
Dissolution Today, Tomorrow & Beyond

Format: On-demand
Duration: Approximately 90 minutes

This expert presentation and discussion forum focuses on aspects of dissolution from development through to a marketed product. Our expert panellist’s discuss the role of dissolution as a quality assurance tool for product development, approval and batch release, the use of dissolution testing of novel drug formulations and how it is being used to probe dosage form behaviour. Consideration is given to technologies available today, technology gaps and why automation is key in driving efficiency and productivity in today’s pharmaceutical laboratories. The laboratory of the future and the role of dissolution as the industry moves to advanced manufacture, smarter connected factories and continuous processing is also discussed.

The event includes a scene-setting presentation by Vivian Gray titled:

Dissolution Testing: Current Status, Challenges and Updates
This overview talk will cover regulatory issues, PBPK/PBBM, vessels and PVT standards, harmonization, and strategies for improving efficiency, including automation and continuous manufacturing.

...and an insightful panel discussion between:
