Event Overview:

Injectable implants offer several advantages as drug delivery systems including site-specific release and high patient compliance. Hot-melt extrusion (HME) is an ideal method for the manufacture of such implants because it can be scalable from early R&D to commercial manufacturing, often with a single instrument. HME can also be done in a continuous manufacturing environment. Watch this webcast for an overview of implant types, materials, and scale-up from development to full-scale manufacturing.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Understand implant types and key applications
  • Learn how HME is used to produce injectable implants
  • See how instruments can be setup from R&D through commercial manufacturing

Speaker: Dirk Leister, Manager, Applications & Customer Support for Extrusion and Compounding, Thermo Fisher Scientific

The bulky bench-top NIR spectrometer is quietly being dismantled and rebuilt as a wafer-scale photonic chip, a self-calibrating algorithm, and a sensor small enough to ride in a shirt pocket. What once demanded a grating, a moving mirror, and a climate-controlled lab now fits inside a handheld module, a bioreactor probe, or a drone payload, and it increasingly figures out what it is looking at on its own.
