The first systematic, hands-on auditing guide for today's pharmaceutical laboratories In today's litigious environment, pharmaceutical laboratories are subject to ever stricter operational guidelines as mandated by the FDA, and must be able to establish and demonstrate sustainable operational practices that ensure compliance with the current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations. David Bliesner's Establishing a CGMP Laboratory Audit System: A Practical Guide is designed to provide laboratory supervisors and personnel with a step-by-step, hands-on audit system that they can rely on to ensure their facility remains compliant with all current and future requirements. Focusing on a "team approach," the author uses detailed flowcharts, checklists, and descriptions of the auditing process to help readers develop a new audit system or upgrade their current system in order to: * Improve current compliance * Demonstrate sustainable compliance * Produce data for federal inspections * Avoid regulatory action Enhanced with detailed checklists and a wealth of practical and flexible auditing tools on CD-ROM, this book provides an ideal resource for new and future laboratory personnel, and an excellent means for keeping existing industry practitioners up to date on the nuances of operating a consistently compliant pharmaceutical laboratory.

Develop an understanding of FDA and global regulatory agency requirements for Laboratory Control System (LCS) operations In Laboratory Control System Operations in a GMP Environment, readers are given the guidance they need to implement a CGMP compliant Laboratory Control System (LCS) that fits within Global Regulatory guidelines. Using the Quality Systems Approach, regulatory agencies like the FDA and the European Medicine Agency have developed a scheme of systems for auditing pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities which includes evaluating the LCS. In this guide, readers learn the fundamental rules for operating a CGMP compliant Laboratory Control System. Designed to help leaders meet regulatory standards and operate more efficiently, the text includes chapters that cover Laboratory Equipment Qualification and Calibration, Laboratory Facilities, Method Validation and Method Transfer, Laboratory Computer Systems, Laboratory Investigations as well as Data Governance and Data Integrity. The text also includes chapters related to Laboratory Managerial and Administrative Systems, Laboratory Documentation Practices and Standard Operating Procedures and General Laboratory Compliance Practices. Additionally, a chapter outlining Stability Program operations is included in the text. In addition to these topics, it includes LCS information and tools such as: ● End of chapter templates, checklists, and LCS guidance to help you follow the required standards ● Electronic versions of each tool so users can use them outside of the text ● An In-depth understanding of what is required by the FDA and other globally significant regulatory authorities for GMP compliant systems For quality assurance professionals working within the pharmaceutical or biopharma industries, this text provides the insight and tools necessary to implement government-defined regulations.

A central resource of technology and methods for environments where the control of contamination is critical.

The fact that good manufacturing practice (GMP) audits in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have to be evaluated, and with very limited resources, has created a gap in this field. The lack of trained and qualified GMP auditors is on the rise in all organizations that are required to implement FDA, EMA, MHRA, WHO, TGA, and PIC/S regulations. This volume is an essential reference source for those organizations operating in the field of health and presents the basic knowledge needed to perform audits. The author also provides useful tips and a selection of samples about GMP audits that are indispensable for professionals and health inspectors working in industry and health authorities. Features • An essential reference source for those organizations operating in the field of health and presents the basic knowledge needed to perform audits. • Anyone working in the manufacturing sector needs to be aware of GMP, be able to identify operational flaws as well as legal violations, and have a clear understanding of how to meet GMP standards. • Assists readers in understanding the importance of GMP and how they can apply each aspect in their working environment. • Covers a global regulatory landscape. • Suitable for relevant degree courses including industrial pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical biotechnology.

The third volume in the six-volume Handbook of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Formulations, this book covers liquid drugs, which include formulations of non-sterile drugs administered by any route in the form of solutions (monomeric and multimeric), suspensions (powder and liquid), drops, extracts, elixirs, tinctures, paints, sprays, colloidons, emul

This Second Edition is an essential guide to preparing for FDA pre-approval inspections-taking into account current trends in FDA expectations and inspection activities, such as the GMPs of the 21st Century, quality systems-based approach to inspections, risk-based inspections, quality by design, process analytical technology, design space, etc. Th
