Background
Even the simplest form of pharmaceutical manufacturing process can involve a range of steps before the finished product is packaged any finally reaches the consumer. These may include:
- Lab-scale development using glove boxes
- Small-scale process driers and coaters
- Micronising
- Storage of powders or liquids
- Mixing
- Product drying
- Tablet compression
- Film coating
- Sugar coating
- Aseptic packaging
- Blister packaging
- Storage of the finished product
Through these processes, the effect of moisture can have detrimental effects on product quality, yield, visual appearance and shelf-life. Enzyme-based diagnostics, for example, are very susceptible to changes in RH level higher than 10%. This can be effectively be avoided by careful control of humidity in the production spaces
