What’s in the Package? How Components Influence Yield & Risk

ET
60 Minutes

Growing contamination control expectations are driving more rigorous risk management across every stage of aseptic manufacturing, including the selection and performance of primary packaging components. Join this webinar to explore exclusive findings from a collaborative study conducted by Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing (GRAM), West Pharmaceutical Services, and Corning Pharmaceutical Technologies examining how packaging component quality can influence manufacturing outcomes in aseptic processing environments.

You’ll learn how to evaluate packaging component considerations that may affect aseptic manufacturing performance, including approaches for reducing risk, improving process consistency, and minimizing product loss during fill-finish operations.

Topics will include:

  • Key packaging component attributes that can influence operational performance and contamination risk
  • Strategies for improving process robustness and reducing failure-related losses
  • How packaging decisions may impact total cost of ownership, yield, and manufacturing efficiency
