ASTM International’s manufacture of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products committee ( E55 ) has approved a new standard that will help advance the use of continuous manufacturing (CM) technologies in the biopharmaceutical industry. In a CM process, individual unit operations are integrated into a connected flow which provides multiple efficiencies in terms of scale and productivity. “…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Travis Murdock, tel +1.610.832.9826; tmurdock@astm.org Release #11543 ###

A proposed ASTM International standard will be used to aid physical integrity testing of single-use systems (SUS) in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. SUS equipment has become a popular alternative to stainless steel equipment that has been generally used for biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes. ASTM International’s committee on manufacture of pharmaceutical and…

A new ASTM International standard describes a hardness test method based on measurement of indentation depth into test material. The instruments covered in the new standard, developed by ASTM’s committee on mechanical testing ( E28 ), are used by the oil and gas, transportation, and machinery and tooling industries. These instruments referenced in the standard, which will soon be published as…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11175 ###
