The Latest Techniques in HPAPI Facility Design

London, United Kingdom, February 01, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Amongst the myriad of potential pitfalls for the Highly Potential Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HPAPI) industry there is a requirement for all parties involved to have a blueprint in place to ensure all containment procedures are followed correctly. Yet, there is also a need to ensure that operations are maintained at the highest standards. At SMi’s 3rd Annual Highly Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Conference these issues will be discussed along with design and build of a new compound, risk assessment of HPAPI products and utilisation of control matrices.

Key Sessions include:

Panel Discussion:

Control matrices, control algorithms, containment guides and confidence
- Importance of control matrices and algorithms
- Current status of containment guides
- Methods of optimising confidence towards worker safety
- Future of containment designs

Mr Peter Marshall, Associate Engineering Director, AstraZeneca
