Surface and Interface Analysis in Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical Fields

By Xia Dong

Surface and Interface Analysis in Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical Fields provides a comprehensive review of the most commonly used interface science techniques in drug research and development (including their capabilities and limitations) and relates them to a specific practical situation.

This book outlines sample preparation crucial for a successful outcome and features methods to interpret results that can be combined with other techniques. It provides engineers who work in instrument companies a comprehensive understanding of the specific challenges faced by these techniques in pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical applications, providing framework for new instruments that can be designed to address the current challenges. For scientists who work in traditional pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical fields, such as discovery, formulation, packaging, and device, this book provides an introduction to surface/interface techniques. It also contains examples on how these scientists can benefit from these techniques. For scientists and engineers working in the manufacturing fields, the book will supply examples on the application of surface/interface characterization techniques for failure analysis and root-cause investigations of deviations that occur at the manufacturing sites.

Provides diagrams of drug development roadmapsIncludes snapshots of potential applications of surface and interface characterization at each stage of drug developmentSummarizes major surface/interface characterization techniquesCompares the pros and cons of commonly applied surface/interface characterization techniquesExplores working examples from pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical fieldsGuides the development of practical strategy for solving real world problems
