Injectable Implants: Manufacturing Advanced Medicines with Hot-Melt Extrusion
Author(s)Thermo Fisher Scientific
The promises of the digital lab are enticing but getting there can seem daunting. The good news is that you can start today. It’s simply about implementation, and not waiting for innovation.

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

This column shows that a Raman plate reader paired with partial least squares regression can simultaneously quantify glucose, fructose, sucrose, and ethanol in yeast fermentation samples, using turbidity-matched calibration standards to correct for yeast-induced turbidity, and offers a rapid, label-free, high-throughput method for tracking sugar consumption and ethanol production in strain screening, media optimization, and process development.
This column, the second installment on highly substituted benzene rings, shows that tri- and tetra-substituted substitution patterns can be distinguished by whether the ring bending peak is present and by the position of the in-phase aryl C-H wagging peak, which shifts according to how many adjacent hydrogens the ring carries.
