IFPAC '04 Summer Summit

July 27-29, 2004
Westin Rio Mar Resort Hotel
Rio Grande, Puerto Rico



Process Analytical Technology: PAT - A System for Design, Analysis and Control of Manufacturing
A Three Day PAT Event


Background

Efficient pharmaceutical manufacturing is a critical part of an effective U.S. health care system. Process Analytical Technology...the System for designing, analyzing, and controlling manufacturing through timely measurements of critical quality and performance attributes of raw, in-process materials and processes with the goal of ensuring final product quality. The ultimate goal of PAT is to understand and control this manufacturing process.

Organizations

Colegio de Quimicos de Puerto Rico (CQPR) is the official organization of professional chemists and scientists in Puerto Rico. The PAT Symposium will be held as part of CQPR’s annual meeting. IFPAC is an international organization dedicated to the advancement of PAT.

Benefits

Learn the practical aspects of PAT, Process Analytical Technology as it is applied to the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Environment. PAT is understanding the Process for innovative pharmaceutical manufacturing and continuous quality assurance. Real Applications or Case Studies will be used to clearly illustrate the key components and the benefits of PAT - Process Analytical Technology.

Broaden your knowledge about the PAT initiative, and how industry is responding to the PAT opportunity. Established and emerging PAT applications and technologies for the Pharmaceutical Industry will be described.
