New Site Discusses Sorbents for Transportation

Multisorb Technologies is launching its new microsite, TranSorb.net, to highlight its TranSorb Sorbent Packs for use in freight containers and warehouse storage. These sorbents are designed to absorb large quantities of moisture to protect machinery, canned goods, steel products, and other items against rust and corrosion.

Visitors to the site will find a newly released short video explaining the benefits and applications for TranSorb.

Maintaining Critical Quality Attributes through Sorbents

Pharmaceutical manufacturers are delving deeper into understanding the sensitivities of their drug products, with many finding that they require more than just an off-the-shelf solution.

Thanks to ICH Q8 on Pharmaceutical Development, considerations such as Quality by Design, Critical Quality Attributes, and Design Space have crept into day-to-day drug development and production, influencing several packaging decisions. In essence, these concepts have encouraged drug manufacturers to better understand drug stability, resulting in a closer examination of risks using science.
