Richard Moseley, Chief Technologist at Microsaic Sytems PLC explains why accurate, timely and efficient measurement techniques are key to optimising production processes in pharmaceutical manufacturing and providing regulators with assurance on product quality.
Specialist analytical chemists typically measure off-line manufacturing samples, often in a centralised lab. This takes time to complete, particularly if the lab is located remotely from the production facility; plus traditional analytical methods, such as optical or UV detection, only give a limited snap shot of information to the user.
Founded in 2001, Microsaic Systems plc (LON:MSYS) is a high technology company which develops point-of-need mass spectrometers, designed to improve the efficiency of chemical and biological workflows.
