QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE DRUG INDUSTRY

Image
   QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE DRUG INDUSTRY Quality management is typically referred to in the larger pharmaceutical industry as the part of the management function that chooses and puts into practice the "quality policy," or the overall intention and course of an organization about quality, as formally expressed and authorized by top management. The fundamental components of quality management are: 1— an appropriate infrastructure, or "quality system ," encompassing organizational structure, procedures, processes, and resources; 2— systematic actions required to ensure sufficient confidence that a Product ( or service) will meet predetermined standards for quality. Quality assurance refers to the sum of these efforts. The management tool of quality assurance is used within a company. Quality control also helps to build supplier confidence in contractual contexts. Aspects of quality management that are interrelated include the ideas of quality assurance, G...

HPLC WORKING PRINCIPLE

Image
                    HPLC WORKING PRINCIPLE HPLC stands for High-Performance Liquid Chromatography, and it is a widely used analytical technique in the field of chemistry. The principle behind HPLC is based on the separation of chemical compounds in a mixture using a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The stationary phase is a material that is packed into a column, typically made of stainless steel, and coated with a thin layer of a specific material. The mobile phase is a liquid that is pumped through the column under high pressure, and it contains a mixture of compounds to be separated. As the mobile phase flows through the column, the individual compounds in the mixture interact differently with the stationary phase, based on their chemical properties such as polarity, size, and charge. This results in differential rates of migration, causing the compounds to separate from each other as they move through the column. As each co...
