October 2024

This month, we present the second installment in our series examining the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry. Our first and subsequent entries are available here.

We have a new webinar, Advancing Viral Vector Manufacturing with Innovation: the Importance of the Cell Line, and an upcoming webinar, Control Strategies and Method Development for Nitrosamines in APIs & Drug Products. There are also plenty of new items in the Media Center. Our white paper, The Evolution of an Adherent HEK293 Cell Line, is still available, too!?

The Principles of Green Chemistry – Second Principle: Atom Economy

Our latest blog series is designed to guide readers toward greener, more sustainable practices. Each entry explores one principle. If you missed our previous principles, they are all posted on our blog page, which can be found?here.

Second Principle: Atom Economy

This principle states, "Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize incorporation of all materials used in the process into the final product.”1

Just as Berkeley W. Cue, Jr., Ph.D., was able to distill the First Principle down to its essence,1?so too did the developer of the Second Principle of green chemistry.3?It can be simply stated as the... Read More.

Upcoming Webinar

Control Strategies and Method Development for Nitrosamines in APIs & Drug Products

Learning Points from the Webinar:

• Discussion of the regulatory landscape for nitrosamines and nitrosamine drug substance-related impurities (NDSRIs)
• Learn how to select the right analytical technologies for nitrosamines assessment
• Understanding different method development and validation strategies

Who Should Attend:

• Chemistry manufacturing control (CMC) and regulatory leaders
• Analytical scientists working in method development
• Scientists with an interest in the determination of drug substance and product nitrosamines control
