Managing the Complexities of Global Pharmaceutical Sourcing
Sponsored By: DPT Laboratories
With the increased globalization and complexity of the pharmaceutical supply chain, managing the sourcing of materials has become extremely challenging. Reducing time and costs are important goals of sourcing, but increased regulations and more rigorous enforcement make these goals difficult to achieve. These trends have forced life science industry companies to optimize sourcing activities for raw materials, intermediates, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and other material components for clinical supplies and commercial manufacturing.

Analysis for Polysorbate 80 Using New High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method with Charged Aerosol Detection (CAD)
Author: Lindsay L. McNalley
Sponsored By: Impact Analytical

Polysorbate 80 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate) is a common nonionic surfactant, emulsifier and solubilizer that is used in a wide variety of industries and applications. Polysorbate 80 is typically used in food products, cosmetics, medications, vitamins, and vaccines. There can be many reasons a company may need to determine the exact amount of polysorbates in their material. For example, companies may need to determine AIG limits in their products, validate analytical methods for product production, or require the information for reverse engineering purposes. Thus, a well-developed analytical method is crucial for accurately quantitating polysorbates.
