cleaner.
 Then it is washed with savlon water using cloth.
 Wall, door, glass other furniture are cleaned with savlon water using a clean cloth.
 After completion of daily work, each area of this section is cleaned in the same process.
 After cleaning the machineries are labeled as “clean”, which is confirmed by the QC
personnel. Only after confirmation, these are used for next production.

Tablet Production department has the following units

 Dispensing
 Granulation
 Compression
 Coating

Dispensing Unit

1. Requisition is given to warehouse for raw materials prior to granulation.

2. Raw materials are collected from warehouse through air lock and transferred to a clean
dispensing room.

3. Before transferring the raw materials to the dispensing room following things should be
checked

4. Materials are checked according to requisition

5. Label check i.e. material is either quarantine, released or rejected

 Dispensing condition (Temp, RH %) should be maintained.


 Weighing raw materials according to DOS (Dispensing Order Sheet)
 Checking of quantity dispensed.
 Excess material returned to warehouse.

Granulation Unit

Granulation is the process in which the powder particles of raw materials are made to form
particles in order to facilitate compression for the production of tablet. All the materials are
received from dispensing unit and the granulation is performed.

Granulation is the process in which primary powder particles are made to adhere to form larger,
multiparticulate entities called granules.

Pharmaceutical granules typically have a size range between 0.2 and 4.0mm depending on their
subsequent use.

However, in the majority of the cases, this will be for the production of tablets and capsules.
when granules will be made as an intermediate product and have a typical size range between 0.2
and 1mm.

In-Plant Training Report On Amico Laboratories Limited


Tablet Section 13

Reasons for granulation


1. To prevent segregation of the constituents of the powder mix

Segregation means demixing and are mainly due to particles size, density and shape differences.

 To improve the flow properties of the mix

 To improve the compaction properties of the mix

Other reasons:

a. To reduce the hazard associated with the generation of toxic dust that may arise during
handling.

b. To reduce the possibility of caking when stored at least for hygroscopic products

c. More convenient for storage or shipment. Sine granules being denser than the parent powder
and occupy more space.

The solvents used in granulation method (mainly in wet) are typically include, Water,

ethanol, Isopropanol, Isopropyl alcohol (IPA), either alone or in combination.

Granules are characterize by


a. Size and size distribution

b. Shape

c. Surface area

d. Density, Strength and Friability

f. Flow properties

g. Compaction properties.

Compression Lubrication

Advantages and Disadvantages of wet granulation


1. The cohesiveness and compressibility of powders is improved due to the added binder that
coats the individual powder particles

2. Drugs having a high dosage and poor flow and /or compressibility must be granulated by wet
method to obtain suitable flow and cohesion for compression.

3. Good distribution and uniform content for soluble, low dosage drugs and colour additives are
obtained if these are dissolved in the binder solution.

4. A wide variety of powder can be possessed together in a single batch and in so doing, their
individual physical characteristics are altered to facilitate tabletting.

5. Bulky and dusty powders can be handled without producing a great deal of dust and air borne
contamination

6. It prevents segregation of components of a homogeneous powder mixture during processing,


transferring, and handling.

7. The dissolution rate of an insoluble drug may be improved by wet granulation with the proper
choice of solvent and binder

In-Plant Training Report On Amico Laboratories Limited


Tablet Section 17

8. Controlled release dosage form can be accomplished by the selection of a suitable binder and
solvent.

Disadvantages
1. Because of large no of processing steps, it requires a large area with temperature and humidity

2. It requires a number of pieces of expensive equipment

3. It is time consuming, especially the wetting and drying equipment

4. There is a possibility of material loss during processing due to transfer of materials from one
unit to another

5. There is a grater possibility of cross contamination than with direct compression method

6. It presents material transfer problems involving the processing of sticky masses

7 It can slow the dissolution of drugs from inside granules after tablet disintegration if not
properly formulated and processed.

Machines for Granulation

Rapid Mixer Granulator (RMG) / High Shear Mixer Granulator (HSMG)-

Amico Laboratories Limited uses RMG and HSMG, Indian origin with capacity of 120-150
kg/batch

The fast moving mixer blades enforce the powder material in to spiral fiuidisationat the bowl
base.

This vortex effect in the material provides faster and uniform (even) distribution of the
ingredients. The shape of the bowl is designed to ensure an optimal and constant flow of the
processing material. This intensive mixing action distributes "active" substances homogeneously
within few minutes. By adding binder through charging hole at the top cover, particles are
uniformly moistened and aggregated to large granules.

In-Plant Training Report On Amico Laboratories Limited


Tablet Section 18

The vertically rotating, specially designed chopper blades shears the circulating powder and
breaks down lumps and aggregates. Thus granules attain higher density and uniformity in shape,
thereby achieving a uniform particle size distribution. The product is discharged by gravity
within a few seconds through discharge port operated by pneumatic cylinder. Product discharge
made quicker by rotating mixer blades at a slow speed.

Fluidized Bed Dryer (FBD)


In his case, Heated and fluidized air is blown or sucked through the bed of unmixed powders to
fluidize the particles and mix the powder in the granulating chamber.

Granulating fluid is pumped from a reservoir through a spray nozzle positioned over the bed of
particles and sprayed on to the bed of powders.

The fluid causes the primary particles to adhere when the droplets and powders collide.

Escape of material from the granulation chamber is prevented by exhaust filters, which are
periodically agitated to reintroduce the collected material into the fluidized bed.

Sufficient liquid is sprayed to produce granules of the required size, at which point the spray is
turned off but the fluidizing air continued.

In-Plant Training Report On Amico Laboratories Limited


Tablet Section 19

Advantages
 Single unit system. (All the granulation processes which require separate equipment in
the conventional method are performed in one unit thus saving labor costs, transfer losses
and time.

 The process can be automated once the conditions affecting the granulation have been
optimized.

Disadvantages
 Initially expensive and optimization of process (and product) parameter affecting
granulation needs extensive development work, not only during initial formulation work
but also during scale up from development to production. This long and very product
specific development process has proved to be a problem with fluidized-bed granulation
in the pharmaceutical industry.

 Fluidized bed systems may not provide adequate mixing of powder components. In fact
there is a tendency for demixing to occur when there are disparities in particle size or
density in the materials being processed.

In-Plant Training Report On Amico Laboratories Limited


Tablet Section 20

 Particles with granulating agent on their surface tend to stick to the equipment filters,
reducing the effective filter surface area, causing product loss, and increasing clean up
difficulties.

 Special attention is also needed for safety in any fluid bed processor. Dust explosion can
occur in a fluid bed dryer, with flammable solvents or with dry materials that develop
static charges. All production size fluid bed equipment must contain explosion relief
panels.

Dry Granulation

This process is applied for those of the drugs, which are sensitive to moisture. E.g. Ortac
(Ranitidine), Tone (Thiamine).

Tablet Section 21

Dry Granulation

Slugging

 After weighing and mixing the ingredients, the mixture is slugged, or compressed into large flat tablets
or pellets about 1 inch in diameter.

 The slugs are broken up by hand or by mill and passed through a screen of desired for sizing.

 Lubricants is added

 Tablets are prepared by compression

 Aspirin which is hydrolyzed on exposure to moisture, may be prepared into tablets after slugging.

Advantage
This is valuable alternative to direct compression, where the dose of drug is too high or too wet
granulation when the drug is sensitive to heat, moisture or both.

This method is also used when other methods of granulation yield granules with poor flow or
compression properties, because there are less chances of segregation of drug and excipients.

Blending
Blending, one of the most basic of pharmaceutical unit operations, can also be one of the most
challenging to control. Solid formulations contain multiple ingredients beyond the active
pharmaceutical ingredients: fillers, tableting agents, disintegrates, and absorption enhancers or
agents that slow down and control absorption. Ingredients from different vendors may behave
differently due to their particle size and shape and other factors, and their tendency to form
aggregates.

Materials must be chosen to ensure the desired flow characteristics, potency, proper dissolution
profile, and absorption of specific formulations. Proper particle size grades of the ingredients
must be selected to produce an optimum blend for capsule filling.

Amico Laboratories Limited uses Double coned Blender and a bunker

Double Cone Blender

The Double Cone Blender is an efficient and versatile machine for mixing dry powder and
granulates uniformly.

In-Plant Training Report On Amico Laboratories Limited


Tablet Section 22

Two-thirds of the volume of the cone blender is filled to ensure proper mixing. Double Cone
Blender is used for pharmaceutical, food, chemical and cosmetic products, etc. These machines
are extensively used in the pharmaceutical industry to granulate and blend medicated powders. It
is also the best way to mix very heavy and abrasive products for total discharge of product with
minimal retention. Blender features multi shear deflector plates for the improved blending
efficiency of free flowing powders and granules.

Salient Features

 The conical shape at both ends enables uniform mixing and easy discharge.
 The cone is statically balanced to avoid any excessive load on the gear box and motor.

 While the powder can be loaded into the cone through a wider opening, it can be discharged-
through a mucon valve or a slide valve.

 Depending upon the product, paddle-type battles can be provided on the shaft for better
mixing.

 Maximum care has been taken ensure safe operation of the unit. It can also be operated
through a timer.

 The contact parts are made of either S.S. 304 or 316 L.


 Flame-proof motor can be supplied as option.

Bunker

Bunker is used mainly for blending of dry powders for capsule plant, for blending and
homogenizing of dried granules for tablet production.

In-Plant Training Report On Amico Laboratories Limited


Tablet Section 23

This is a closed and contained system where by a single step transfer material from container of
the Conta blender is transferred to the tablet press hopper.

Compression Unit

After granulation the granules are compressed to form tablets of specific weight, hardness and
thickness.

Direct compression
A few crystalline drugs such as sodium chloride, sodium bromide, potassium chloride and aspirin
may be compressed directly.

A number of materials are available which are directly compressible and which can serve as
tablet diluents for direct compression. These directly compressible diluents are inert substances
possessing good flow properties even when significant quantities of drugs are mixed with them.

Examples, directly compressible microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel), Dicalcium Phosphate


(emcopress), anhydrous and spray dried lactose, modified starch (starch 1500) directly
compressible grades of sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol and dextrose

“Direct compression is the most economical of the three methods in term of time, labor, and
equipment.

The bioavailability of the drug is usually better due to absence of adhesive binding agents.

In-Plant Training Report On Amico Laboratories Limited


Tablet Section 24

The elimination of moistening and drying stages prevents many of the stability problems (such
as. Hydrolysis of the drug, microbial growth in the product etc) associated with moist granulation
process.”

Compression
After the preparation of granules (in case of wet granulation) or sized slugs (in case of dry
granulation) or mixing of ingredients (in case of direct compression), they are compressed to get
final product. The compression is done either by single punch machine (stamping press) or by
multi station machine (rotary press). The tablet press is a high-speed mechanical device. It
'squeezes' the ingredients into the required tablet shape with extreme precision. It can make the
tablet in many shapes, although they are usually round or oval. Also, it can press the name of the
manufacturer or the product into the top of the tablet.
Each tablet is made by pressing the granules inside a die, made up of hardened steel. The die is a
disc shape with a hole cut through its centre. The powder is compressed in the centre of the die
by two hardened steel punches that fit into the top and bottom of the die. The punches and dies
are fixed to a turret that spins round. As it spins, the punches are driven together by two fixed
cams - an upper cam and lower cam. The top of the upper punch (the punch head) sits on the
upper cam edge .The bottom of the lower punch sits on the lower cam edge.
The shapes of the two cams determine the sequence of movements of the two punches. This
sequence is repeated over and over because the turret is spinning round. The force exerted on the
ingredients in the dies is very carefully controlled. This ensures that each tablet is perfectly
formed. Because of the high speeds, they need very sophisticated lubrication systems. The
lubricating oil is recycled and filtered to ensure a continuous supply. Common stages occurring
during compression
Stage 1: Top punch is withdrawn from the die by the upper cam Bottom punch is low in the die
so powder falls in through the hole and fills the die
Stage 2: Bottom punch moves up to adjust the powder weight-it raises and expels some powder
Stage 3: Top punch is driven into the die by upper cam Bottom punch is raised by lower cam
Both punch heads pass between heavy rollers to compress the powder
Stage 4: Top punch is withdrawn by the upper cam Lower punch is pushed up and expels the
tablet is removed from the die surface by surface plate
Stage 5: Return to stage 1

Tablet Section 26

Coating
Many tablets today are coated after being pressed. Although sugar-coating was popular in the
past, the process has many drawbacks. Modern table coating is polymer and polysaccharide
based, with plasticizers and pigments included. Tablet coatings must be stable and strong enough
to survive the handling of the tablet, must not make tablets stick together during the coating
process, and must follow the fine contours of embossed characters or logos on tablets. Coatings
are necessary for tablets that have an unpleasant taste, and a smoother finish makes large tablets
easier to swallow. Tablet coatings are also useful to extend the shelf-life of components that are
sensitive to moisture or oxidation. Special coatings (for example with pearlescent effects) can
enhance brand recognition.
If the active ingredient of a tablet is sensitive to acid, or is irritant to the stomach lining, an
enteric coating can be used, which is resistant to stomach acid, and dissolves in the less acidic
area of the intestines. Enteric coatings are also used for medicines that can be negatively affected
by taking a long time to reach the small intestine, where they are absorbed. Coatings are often
chosen to control the rate of dissolution of the drug in the gastrointestinal tract. Some drugs will
be absorbed better at different points in the digestive system. If the highest percentage of
absorption of a drug takes place in the stomach, a coating that dissolves quickly and easily in
acid will be selected. If the rate of absorption is best in the large intestine or colon, then a coating
that is acid resistant and dissolves slowly would be used to ensure it reached that point before
dispersing.
There are two types of coating machines used in the pharmaceutical industry: coating pans and
automatic coaters. Coating pans are used mostly for sugar coating of pellets. Automatic coaters
are used for all kinds of coatings; they can be equipped with remote control panel, dehumidifier,
and dust collectors. The explosion-proof design is required for alcohol containing coatings.
Film coating
A film coating is a thin polymer-based coat applied to a solid dosage form such as a tablet. The
[1]
thickness of such a coating is usually between 20-100 µm. It is possible to follow the dynamic
curing effect on tablet coating structure by using non-destructive analytical methodologies.

Encapsulation
Encapsulation refers to a range of dosage forms—techniques used to enclose medicines—in a
relatively stable shell known as acapsule, allowing them to, for example, be taken orally or be
used as suppositories. The two main types of capsules are:

In-Plant Training Report On Amico Laboratories Limited


Tablet Section 28

 Hard-shelled capsules, which are typically made using gelatin and contain dry, powdered
ingredients or miniature pellets made by e.g. processes of extrusion orspheronisation. These
are made in two halves: a lower-diameter "body" that is filled and then sealed using a higher-
diameter "cap".

 Soft-shelled capsules, primarily used for oils and for active ingredients that are dissolved or
suspended in oil.

Both of these classes of capsules are made from aqueous solutions of gelling agents like:

 Animal protein, mainly gelatin;

 Plant polysaccharides or their derivatives like carrageenans and modified forms of


starch and cellulose.Other ingredients can be added to the gelling agent solution like
plasticizers such as glycerin or sorbitol to decrease the capsule's hardness, coloring
agents, preservatives, disintegrants, lubricants and surface treatment.

The overall tabletting cycle is as follows

1. Hopper: Contains the granulated material which is to be tablatted.


2. Feed frame: Fed by the hopper to hold the granule as it is fed in to the die.
3. Feed paddles: Ensures that the granule is keep agitated to correct filling of the die bore.

In-Plant Training Report On Amico Laboratories Limited


Tablet Section 31

4. Draw-down Cam: The lower punch guide during the first part of the fill stage, adjustable
to ensure that the die bore is over filled initially to allow accurate adjustment at weight
control.
5. Weight control: The lower punch guide during the latter part of the fill stage, adjustable to
ensure that as the punch rises, the correct quantity of granule remains within the die, and
therefore the tablet dosage is correct.
6. Fill Station: The point where the die has been correctly filled.
7. Pre-compression rollers: This smaller roller gives the granule an initial pinch to remove
as much air as possible before full compression takes place.
8. Main compression rollers: Applies full pre-determined pressure to the punches for the
final formation of the tablet.
9. Compression Station: Where full compression of the tablet is achieved.
10. Ejection cam: This forms the lower punch guide during the ejection stage and is
adjustable to ensure smooth ejection without damaging tablets.
11. Take-off blade: Fitted in front of the feed frame this deflects the tablet down the take-off
chute.
12. Ejection station: This is the station where the tablet leaves the die for take-off.
13. Take-off chute: the chute down which the tablet passes for collection and packaging

Problems during Processing and Compression

Tablet production may reasonably exhibit a number of defects during the process of developing
formulation and in the routine manufacture of tablets, which are not desirable. These defects
arise due to the following reasons:

1. Wrong formulation
2. Improper setting of tablet machine
3. Processing error

Defects related to Tableting Process

i. Capping It is due air-entrapment in the granular material.


ii. Lamination: It is due air-entrapment in the granular material.
iii. Cracking: It is due to rapid expansion of tablets when deep concave punches are used.

In-Plant Training Report On Amico Laboratories Limited


Tablet Section 32

Capping:

Capping is the partial or complete separation of top or bottom layer of the tablets from the main
body of the tablet.

Cause:

A. Problem of formulation

B. Problem of punch

C. Problem of die

D. Incorrect setting of tablet machine

Lamination:

Lamination is the separation of a tablet into two or more distinct layers.

Reason: Air–entrapment during compression and subsequent release on ejection.

The condition is exaggerated by higher speed of turret.

Cracking:

Small, fine cracks observed on the upper and lower central surface of tablets, or very rarely on
the sidewall are referred to as ‘Cracks’.

Reason: It is observed as a result of rapid expansion of tablets, especially when deep concave
punches are used.

 Quality Assurance & Validation 40

QUALITY ASSURANCE & VALIDATION

Quality assurance is the sum total of the organized arrangements made with the object of ensuring
that products will be of the quality required by their intended use.

The assurance of product quality depends on more than just proper sampling and adequate testing
various components and the finished dosage form. Prime responsibility of maintaining products
quality during production rests with the manufacturing department.

Quality Assurance Department is responsible for assuring that quality polices adopted by a Company
are followed and in most organization it serves as the contact with regulatory agencies and are the
final authority for product acceptance or rejection. It also help tom prepare the standard operation
procedure (SOPs) relative to control of quality.

Types of work of QA

 Raw materials analysis


 Source development
 Commercial Consignment
 Re-testing
 Keeping sample & relevant documentation
 Packaging material analysis

 Collection of sample from the belt as per sampling procedure

 Recording of the Quantities of collect sample by analyst on batch packaging record sheet.

 Checking of the product

 Recording in packed product record sheet

 Reporting to the respective officer by analyst (in case of any fault)

 Collection sampling advice sheet after packing of a batch

 Allocation of the Laboratory Ref. No. to the sampling advice sheet.

 Preparing of the report after checking.

 Further checking by the officer.

 Releasing of the batch to the market by the QC Manager, if satisfactory result comes.

 Keeping of the document under supervision of QA after releasing a batch.

 In case of rejection, rejected label (s) will be pasted on the product.

Recording of the rejection details in the rejection register and authorized by QA Manager.

VALIDATION
Validation may be defined as a means to prove that an equipment or process actually performs as
per design or requirement. This is achieved by measuring any attribute that is possible to
quantify.

Types of process validation


Depending on when it is performed in relation to production, validation can be prospective,
concurrent, and retrospective or revalidation (repeated validation).

Prospective validation is carried out during the development stage by means of a risk analysis
of the production process, which is broken down into individual steps: these are then evaluated
on the basis of past experience to determine whether they might lead to critical situations.

In-Plant Training Report On Amico Laboratories Limited


Quality Assurance & Validation 42

Concurrent validation is carried out during normal production. This method is effective only if
the development stage has resulted in a proper understanding of the fundamentals of the process.
The first three production-scale batches must be monitored as comprehensively as possible. The
nature and specifications of subsequent in-process and final tests are based on the evaluation of
the results of such monitoring.

Retrospective validation involves the examination of past experience of production on the


assumption that composition, procedures, and equipment remain unchanged; such experience
and the results of in-process and final control tests are then evaluated. Recorded difficulties and
failures in production are analyzed to determine the limits of process parameters. A trend
analysis may be conducted to determine the extent to which the process parameters are within
the permissible range.

Revalidation is needed to ensure that changes in the process and/or in the process environment,
whether intentional or unintentional, do not adversely affect process characteristics and product
quality.

Revalidation may be divided into two broad categories:

1. Revalidation after any change having a bearing on product quality.


2. Periodic revalidation carried out at scheduled intervals.

Purpose of Validation

Validation is carried out to have better control of the manufacturing and related operations to
ensure minimum deviations in actual production from the ones required by design. The benefit of
such validation exercises therefore include better system control and maintenance and a high
degree of assurance that a specific process will consistently produce a product meeting its
predetermined specifications and quality characteristics

Function of Disintegration Tester

This equipment is used for disintegration testing of solid item, it has functions of double circle
control systems, preset time of stop for each circle control system and beep hint, the latest
temperature control technology is used for water temperature control.

UV spectrometer

Function

It can also be used for other functions having to do with change in UV spectrum. We use it in our
lab to track the folding and unfolding of proteins, since the two conformations have different
absorbance maximums. We can tell the extent to which it folds/unfolds, and the time it takes to
do so. Microbiologists use them to measure optical density (think of it as how cloudy a solution
is) to track the growth of bacteria growing in liquid medium. The possibilities for good times are
endless )

PH meter

Function of PH meter

Glass electrodes are commonly used for pH measurements. There are also specialized ion
sensitive glass electrodes used for determination of concentration of lithium, sodium,
ammonium, and other ions. Glass electrodes have been utilized in a wide range of application -
from pure research, control of industrial processes, to analyze foods, cosmetics and comparison
of indicators of the environment and environmental regulations: a microelectrode measurements
of membrane electrical potential of a biological cell, analysis of soil acidity, etc.

Routine determinations of water with the new 870 KF Titrino plus

The favorably priced 870 KF Titrino plus is Metrohm’s new Karl Fischertitrator for volumetric
water determinations. It can be used to determinewater contents from a few ppm up to 100%
reliably and accurately insolid, liquid and gaseous samples. With its new operating interface
designedfor routine users, the 870 KF Titrino plus is so easy to operate thatit only requires a
short familiarization period. Also its robustness makes itthe ideal titrator for routine
determinations.

Moisture Analyzer

Use of moisture meter

Moisture meters are used to measure the percentage of water in a given substance. This
information can be used to determine if the material is ready for use, unexpectedly wet or dry, or
otherwise in need of further inspection.

Wood and paper products are very sensitive to their moisture content. Physical properties are
strongly affected by moisture content. Dimensioning also changes with moisture content.

Quality Control Department 51

IR Spectrophotometer

Uses and applications

Infrared spectroscopy is a simple and reliable technique widely used in both organic and
inorganic chemistry, in research and industry. It is used in quality control, dynamic measurement,
and monitoring applications such as the long-term unattended measurement of CO 2
concentrations in greenhouses and growth chambers by infrared gas analyzers.

It is also used in forensic analysis in both criminal and civil cases, for example in identifying
polymer degradation. It can be used in detecting how much alcohol is in the blood of a suspected
drunk driver measured as 1/10,000 g/mL = 100 μg/mL.

A useful way of analysing solid samples without the need for cutting samples uses ATR or
attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy. Using this approach, samples are pressed against the
face of a single crystal. The infrared radiation passes through the crystal and only interacts with
the sample at the interface between the two materials.

With increasing technology in computer filtering and manipulation of the results, samples in
solution can now be measured accurately (water produces a broad absorbance across the range of
interest, and thus renders the spectra unreadable without this computer treatment).

Some instruments will also automatically tell you what substance is being measured from a store
of thousands of reference spectra held in storage.

Infrared spectroscopy is also useful in measuring the degree of polymerization in polymer


manufacture. Changes in the character or quantity of a particular bond are assessed by measuring
at a specific frequency over time. Modern research instruments can take infrared measurements
across the range of interest as frequently as 32 times a second. This can be done whilst
simultaneous measurements are made using other techniques. This makes the observations of
chemical reactions and processes quicker and more accurate.

In-Plant Training Report On Amico Laboratories Limited


Quality Control Department 52

Infrared spectroscopy has also been successfully utilized in the field of semiconductor
[3]
microelectronics: for example, infrared spectroscopy can be applied to semiconductors like
silicon, gallium arsenide, gallium nitride, zinc selenide, amorphous silicon, silicon nitride, etc.

The instruments are now small, and can be transported, even for use in field trials.

High-performance liquid chromatography

High-performance liquid chromatography (sometimes referred to as high-pressure liquid


chromatography), HPLC, is a chromatographic technique that can separate a mixture of
compounds and is used in biochemistry and analytical chemistry to identify, quantify and purify
the individual components of the mixture.

Quality Control Department 53

Dissolution testing

In the pharmaceutical industry, drug dissolution testing is routinely used to provide critical in
vitro drug release information for both quality control purposes, i.e., to assess batch-to-batch
consistency of solid oral dosage forms such as tablets, and drug development, i.e., to predict in
vivo drug release profiles.

In vitro drug dissolution data generated from dissolution testing experiments can be related to in
vivo pharmacokinetic data by means of in vitro-in vivo correlations (IVIVC). A well established
predictive IVIVC model can be very helpful for drug formulation design and post-approval
manufacturing changes.

The main objective of developing and evaluating an IVIVC is to establish the dissolution test as
a surrogate for human bioequivalence studies, as stated by the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). Analytical data from drug dissolution testing are sufficient in many cases to establish
safety and efficacy of a drug product without in vivo tests, following minor formulation and
manufacturing changes (Qureshi and Shabnam, 2001). Thus, the dissolution testing which is
conducted in dissolution apparatus must be able to provide accurate and reproducible results.
Several dissolution apparatuses exist. In United States Pharmacopeia (USP) General Chapter
<711> Dissolution, there are four dissolution apparatuses standardized and specified. They are:

1. USP Dissolution Apparatus 1 – Basket (37°C)

2. USP Dissolution Apparatus 2 – Paddle (37°C)

3. USP Dissolution Apparatus 3 – Reciprocating Cylinder (37°C)

4. USP Dissolution Apparatus 4 – Flow-Through Cell (37°C)

USP Dissolution Apparatus 2 is the most widely used apparatus among these four.

In-Plant Training Report On Amico Laboratories Limited


Quality Control Department 54

The performances of dissolution apparatuses are highly dependent on hydrodynamics due to the
nature of dissolution testing. The designs of the dissolution apparatuses and the ways of
operating dissolution apparatuses have huge impacts on the hydrodynamics, thus the
performances. Hydrodynamic studies in dissolution apparatuses were carried out by researchers
over the past few years with both experimental methods and numerical modeling such as
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The main target was USP Dissolution Apparatus 2.The
reason is that many researchers suspect that USP Dissolution Apparatus 2 provides inconsistent
and sometimes fault data. The hydrodynamic studies of USP Dissolution Apparatus 2 mentioned
above clearly showed that it does have intrinsic hydrodynamic issues which could result in
problems. In 2005, Professor PieroArmenante from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT)
and Professor Fernando Muzzio from Rutgers University submitted a technical report to the
FDA. In this technical report, the intrinsic hydrodynamic issues with USP Dissolution Apparatus
2 based on the research findings of Armenante’s group and Muzzio’s group were discussed.

Conclusion
Although the four weeks’ time of our training in Amico Laboratories Limited flew very
quickly,With the co-operation of the authority and all the personnel, we have learnt a great
and gathered a lot of experience which will be helpful for our future practical purposes. In
every section, the respective authority cordially received us. They initiated our curiosity and
interest regarding the relevant subjects. We are pleased with behavior of every person
involved in the factory. Thus,we have completed our training with great satisfaction and hope
that the feeling is mutual.

In plant layout of the Amico Laboratories Limited plant at Khagan, Birulia, Savar at Dhaka is
in a word, excellent. It was, no doubt, a very well planned layout that provides an optimum
use of space and ease of operation and thus contributes highly towards optimum productivity.

The plant is very well organized and the internal environment is very supportive to the
employee, which is very nice since a congenial atmosphere increases the productivity of a
company. One of the impressive things Amico Laboratories Limited is its wide range of
products and its quality. We were also very impressed with the maintenance of GMP and the
extensive documentation of all the works kept in the company, complying with the ISO
9001:2000 requirements.

Another most impressive thing about Amico Laboratories Limited is that they are trying to
commence such kind of product which is valuable and they are marketing it in lower price.

We would like to end with a note of thanks, again to Almighty Allah, and to everyone
involved, for successful completion of this training and we hope that Amico Laboratories
Limited will continue its co-operation to allow In-plant Training in future.
