RAW MATERIAL STORE


A raw material also known as a feedstock or most correctly unprocessed material, is a basic
material that is used to produce goods, finished products, energy or intermediate materials which are
feedstock for future finished products. As feedstock, the term connotes these materials are bottleneck
assets and are highly important with regards to producing other products.

Pharmaceutical raw materials comprise substrates or elements that are used for manufacturing
different types of drugs e.g. endocrine disorder drugs, musculoskeletal system drugs, anti-infective
drugs viz. cephalexin, penicillin, ampicillin, cephradine, etc. Pharmaceutical excipients and
ingredients or raw materials used to manufacture drugs are extracted from different sources. These
sources could be natural or synthetic. Recently, many of the raw materials previously derived from
natural sources are being produced synthetically in part or even biotechnologically. This is so because
manufacturing them artificially is economical, safer and much quicker. Pharmaceutical raw materials
are manufactured using different types of acids, alcohols, esters, phenones, pyridines, etc.

Pharmaceutical raw materials are essential to producing pharmaceutical drugs and include
active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) also known as bulk active are pharmaceutically active and
have desired pharmacological effects on the body e.g. alvimopan, sparfloxacin,
sapropterindihydrochloride, lanreotideacetate, nicotinic aicd, etc. In contrast pharmaceutical
excipients are the pharmaceutically inert substances which help in delivering the active ingredients
e.g. anti-adherents, binders, coatings, disintegrants, fillers, etc.

EQUIPMENTS

1. SIFTER
An instrument used to sieve the ingredients of a tablet with a replaceable mess ware. In this technique,
particles of power mass are placed on a screen made of uniform aperture. The sifter is attached with a
vibrator that helps in sieving the materials through the meshwork. The mechanism of action is to loosen
the packing of the particle in contact with screen surface, permitting entrapped sub sieve particles to
the screen surface.

Fig 2. Sifter Fig 3. Planetary Mixer

2. Planetary Mixer
For wet granulation a planetary mixer is used. Solutions of the binding agent are added to the mixed
powders with stirring. The powder mass is wetted with the binding solution until the mass has the
consistency of damp snow. The planetary mixer can mix a material of 100kg. The beater of the
planetary mixer revolves 2-4 times for each revolution of the head, providing double mixing action.

3. Mass Mixer
This is also mixing equipment used to mix dry as well is wet ingredients. The mixer has blades that
are alternately arranged and is allows uniform mixing. The mass mixer is emptied by inverting it and
scrapping off its ingredients. The planetary mixer can mix a material of 100kg.

4. Multi-mill
This is a hammer mill that uses a high speed rotor to which a number of swinging hammers are fixed.
The unit is enclosed with chamber containing a grid or removable screen through which the material
can pass. The material is fed from the top and ground by impact of hammers or against the plates
around the periphery of the casing. The materials are enough pass through the screen that forms the
lower portion of the chamber. The fragments are swept downward against the screen where they
undergo additional hammering action until they are reduced to a size small enough to pass through the
openings and out. Oversize particles are hurled upwards into the chamber where they also undergo
further blows by the revolving hammers.

5. Fluidized bed dryer
In a fluidized bed dryer, the fluidized air stream is introduced by a fan or blower mounted at the top of
the apparatus. The air is heated to the required temperature in an air heater and flows upwards through
the wet materials, which remains in a drying chamber fitted with a wire mesh supported at the bottom.
By this process, the material is suspended and agitated in a warm air stream while the granulation is
maintained in motion.

Fig 4. Fluidized Bed Dryer Fig 5. Tray Dryer

6. Tray dryer
It consists of a chamber, containing horizontal arrangements of trays on which granules are dried. The
drying process is accomplished by a gust of hot air driven by or blower through an electric heater and
heat exchange. In this method, the wet materials are placed over paper sheets and finally placed over
the trays and the drying operation is carried out. These dryers are mainly useful for materials that
contain alcoholic solutions and where slow drying for better granule characteristic is necessary.

7. Compressor
For increased production, Rotary machines offer a great advantage. A head carrying a number of sets
of punches and dies revolves continuously while the tablet granulation runs from the hopper, through
a feed frame and into the dies placed in a large, steel plate revolving under it. This method promotes a
uniform fill of the die and therefore an accurate weight for the tablet. Compression takes place as the
upper and the lower punches passes between a pair of rollers. This action produce a slow squeezing
effect on the material in the die cavity from the top and bottom and so gives a chance for the entrapped
air to escape. The punches and dies can be removed for inspection, cleaning and inserting different sets
to produce a great variety of shapes and sizes.

INDUSTRIAL TRANING REPORT


TABLET PRESSES
 The basic unit of any tablet press is a set of tooling consisting of two punches and a die which is
called a station.
 The die determines the diameter or shape of the tablet; the punches, upper and lower, come
together in the die that contains the tablet formulation to form a tablet.
 There are two types of presses: single-punch and rotary punch.
 The single-punch press has a single station of one die and two punches, and is capable of producing
from 40 to 120 tablets per minute depending on the size of the tablet. It is largely used in the early
stages of tablet formulation development.
 The rotary press has a multiplicity of stations arranged on a rotating table in which the dies are fed
the formulation producing tablets at production rates of’ from a few to many thousands per minute.
 There are numerous models of presses manufactured by a number of companies, ranging in size,
speed, and capacity.

Tablet presses consist of


1) Hoppers, usually one or two, for storing and feeding the formulation to be pressed
2) Feed frame(s) for distributing the formulation to the dies
3) Dies for controlling the size and shape of the tablet
4) Punches for compacting the formulation into tablets
5) Cams (on rotary presses) that act as tracks to guide the moving punches. All other parts of the
press are designed to control the operation of the above parts.

COATING
 Tablet coatings perform one or more of the following functions. They may: mask the taste of
unpalatable drugs, protect the drug from deterioration due to light, oxygen or moisture, separate
incompatible ingredients, control the release of medicament in the gastrointestinal tract, and
provide an elegant or distinctive finish to the tablet.
 The materials used for coating may largely comprise sucrose (sugar coating), water soluble film
forming polymers (film coating) or substances which are soluble in the intestinal secretions but not
in those of the stomach (enteric coating).
 These types of coating can all be applied by the pan or fluid-bed processes; the compression coating
technique is suitable for sugar and enteric coatings, but not for film coating.

TYPES OF COATING
1) SUGAR COATING
2) FILM COATING
3) MODIFIED RELEASE COATING

1) SUGAR COATING: This traditional coating imparts a smooth, rounded, elegant appearance to the
tablet. Stephenson and Smith (1951) have given a detailed discussion on the composition of sugar
coatings.
 The sugarcoating process involves building up layers of coating material on the tablet cores as
they are tumbled in a revolving pan by repetitively applying a coating solution or suspension
and drying off the solvent.
 Before sugarcoating, the core is coated with a sealing coat of shellac, PVP*-stabilized types of
shellac, or other polymeric materials, such as cellulose acetate phthalate and polyvinyl acetate
phthalate.
 The next stage is to build up a subcoat that will provide a good bridge between the main coating
and the sealed core, as well as round off any sharp corners. This step is followed by smoothing
or grossing.
 The finishing stage is accomplished by again applying one or two layers of clear syrup. The
tablets are then left for several hours before being transferred to the polishing pan.
 The polish is a dilute wax solution (e.g., carnauba or beeswax in petroleum spirit) applied
sparingly until a high luster is produced.

2) FILM COATING: Film coating has increased in popularity for various reasons.
 The film process is simpler and, therefore, easier to automate. It is also faster than sugarcoating,
since weight gains of only 2 to 6% are involved, as opposed to more than 50% with
sugarcoating.
 Two major groups of film coating materials may be distinguished:
(a) Those that are non-enteric and, for the most part, cellulose derivatives, and
(b) Those that can provide an enteric effect and are commonly esters of phthalic acid.
 Films may contain a plasticizer that prevents the film from becoming brittle with consequent
risk of chipping.
 Until recently, alcohols, esters, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and ketones have been among the
most frequently used types of solvents. However, because of increasing regulatory pressures
against undesirable solvents, there has been a pronounced trend toward aqueous film coating.

3) Modified-Release Coatings: A coating may be applied to a tablet to modify the release pattern of
the active ingredient.
 Two general categories, enteric coating and controlled-release coating, are distinguished.

 The former are insoluble in the low Ph environment of the stomach but dissolve readily in
the small intestine with its elevated Ph.
 They are used to minimize irritation of the gastric mucosa by certain drugs and to protect
others that are degraded by gastric juices.

PACKAGING AND LABELLING OF TABLETS


 Packaging and Labeling of tablets are done in Packaging and Labeling area.
 In this area concurrently three actions i.e. visual checking for contaminant or deformity, Labeling
and Packing are taking place.
 This room is fitted with air-conditioners and a temperature of about 27◦C is maintained.
 This area has an inspection table where deformity and contamination are checked against black
and white background.
 The minimum luminosity required in the inspection zone is 500lacs.
 The inspection table is fitted with stainless steel conveyors.
 The equipment is attached with a motor of 1 H.P. and a reduction gear box with adjustable
pulley.
 It is sometimes convenient to categorize packages by layer or functions –
1) Primary Packaging
2) Secondary Packaging
3) Tertiary Packaging

Primary Packaging – It is the material that first envelope the product and holds it. This usually is
the smallest unit of distribution or use and is the package which is in direct contact with the content.

Secondary Packaging – It is outside the primary packing and may be used to prevent pilferage or to
group primary packages together.

Tertiary Packaging – These are used for bulk handling, warehouse storage and transport shipping.
The most common form of palletized unit load that packs tightly into containers.

Fig 9. Blister Packaging Machine

TYPES OF PACKAGING
1) BLISTER PACKING
2) STRIP PACKING

1) Blister Packing: This is useful for packaging of unit dose of pharmaceuticals. This packing mode
has been used extensively for several good reasons. It is a packaging configuration capable of
providing excellent environmental protection, coupled with an aesthetically pleasing and
efficacious appearance. It also provides user functionally in terms of convenience, child resistance
and now temperature resistance.
Blister packing consists of two principals components:-
1) A formed base web creating the cavity inside which the product fit.
2) The lidding foil for dispensing the product out of the pack.

2) Strip packing: The blister package is formed by heat softening a sheet of thermoplastic resin and
vacuum drawing the softened sheets of plastic into a contoured mould. After coming, the sheet is
released from the mould and proceeds to the filling station of the packaging machine. The semi-
rigid blister previously formed, is filled with the product and lidded with a heat sealable backing
material. The backing material can be either a push through or peelable type. For a push through
type of blister, the backing material is usually heat seal coated aluminum foil. The packaging of
the final product is done in paper cartons, manually, and is finally sealed using an automatic sealer.
The machine can seal cartons.

CAPSULE MANUFACTURING SECTION


 Capsule is the most versatile of all dosage forms.
 Capsules are solid dosage forms in which one or more medicinal and inert ingredients are
enclosed in a small shell or container usually made of gelatin.
 The process of manufacture of capsules is known as Encapsulation.

Types of Capsules
1) Hard Gelatin Capsule
2) Soft Gelatin Capsule

 The hard capsule is also called “two piece” as it consists of two pieces in the form of small cylinders
closed at one end, the shorter piece is called the “cap” which fits over the open end of the longer
piece, called the “body”.
 The soft gelatin capsule is also called as “one piece”. Capsules are available in many sizes to
provide dosing flexibility.
 Unpleasant drug tastes and odors can be masked by the tasteless gelatin shell.
 The administration of liquid and solid drugs enclosed in hard gelatin capsules is one of the most
frequently utilized dosage forms.

INDUSTRIAL FILLING OF HARD GELATIN CAPSULES


a) Removal of caps
b) Filling of the bodies
c) Replacement of caps
d) Ejection of filled capsules

 Capsules are delivered into the perforated capsule filling ring.


 The ring is rotated on a turntable, and a vacuum pulls the bodies into the lower half of the ring,
leaving the caps in the upper half of the ring.
 The top & bottom halves of the filling ring are separated manually, and the cap half of the ring is
set aside.
 The body half of the ring is then moved to another turntable where it is rotated mechanically
under a powder hopper.
 The hopper contains an auger which feeds the powder into the bodies.
 When the capsule bodies are filled, the cap and body rings are rejoined.

FILLING OF POWDER IN CAPSULE SHELL


Filling of powder is generally done by the different machines. The equipments used for filling of
powder in capsule shell types –
1) Hand Operated Capsule Filling Machine.
2) Semi Automatic Capsule Filling Machine.
3) Automatic Capsule Filling Machine.

QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE SECTION


Quality control is the part of GMP concerned with sampling, specification and testing and with
organization; documentation and release procedures which ensure that necessary and relevant tests are
carried out and that materials are not released for sale or supply, until their quality has been judged
satisfactory.

Quality Control (QC) laboratory ensures that the products are pure, safe and effective and are
released only after thorough analysis as per stringent specifications, methods and procedures
developed according to international guidelines viz. EU Cgmp, MHRA, WHO, TGA, etc.

One of the most important elements in QC laboratory program is the quality and assurance of
the standard which are used. The standard can be broadly defined into two categories –
 Reference standard or primary standard
 Working standard or secondary standard

The working standard are those obtained from reliable source and whose purity and strength have
been optimized through test, generally compared with the reference standard. The quality control
section performs different control measure and test procedures to verify the product and material
quality. The tests are performed by the QC personnel and the results are matched with a reference
standard.

Different types of test are performed for different material. The types of test performed for each
material are as follows –
1. Size and Shape test
2. Color test
3. Hardness test
4. Friability test
5. Weight Variation test
6. Content uniformity test
7. Disintegration test
8. Dissolution test
9. HPLC
10. IR Spectroscopy
11. UV Spectrophotometer

1. Size and Shape – Thickness is + 5% of standard value control to facilitate packaging. Shaped
tablet requires slotted punches because of the non-uniformity force during compression.

2. Organoleptic Property – Color of product must be uniform. Non-uniformity of color on the


tablet is called Mottling.

3. Hardness
 Tablet requires a certain amount of strength or hardness and resistance to friability to withstand
mechanical shakes of handling in manufacture, packaging and shipping.
 Hardness generally measures the tablet crushing strength. The strength of a tablet was determined
by following ways;
(a) By cracking the tablet between 2nd and 3rd fingers with the thumb acting as a fulcrum. If there
is a sharp snap, the tablet is an acceptable strength.

(b) Tablet hardness can be defined as the force required breaking a tablet in a diametric
compression. In this test the tablet is placed between two anvils, force is applied to the anvils,
and the crushing strength that just causes the tablet to break is recorded.
 Generally used Hardness testers are:
a) Monsanto Tester
b) Strong-Cobb Tester
c) Pfizer Tester
d) Erweka Tester
e) Schleuniger Tester

 Hardness for compressed tablet is 5 to 8 kg.

4. Friability
 Friability of a tablet can determine in laboratory by Roche friabilator.
 This consist of a plastic chamber that revolves at 25 rpm, dropping the tablets through a Distance
of six inches in the friabilator, which is then operate for 100 revolutions.
 The tablets are reweighed. Compress tablet that lose less than 0.5 to 1.0 % of the Tablet weigh
are consider acceptable.

5. Weight Variation test (U.S.P.)


 Take 20 tablets and weighed individually.
 Calculate average weight and compare the individual tablet weight to the average.
 The tablet pass the U.S.P. test if no more that 2 tablets are outside the percentage limit and if no
tablet differs by more than 2 times the percentage limit.

6. Content Uniformity Test


 Randomly select 30 tablets. 10 of these assayed individually.
 The Tablet pass the test if 9 of the 10 tablets must contain not less than 85% and not more than
115% of the labeled drug content and the 10th tablet may not contain less than 75% and more than
125% of the labeled content.
 If these conditions are not met, remaining 20 tablets assayed individually and none may fall outside
of the 85 to 115% range.

7. Disintegration Test (U.S.P.)


 The U.S.P. device to test disintegration uses 6 glass tubes that are 3” long; open at the top and 10
mesh screens at the bottom end.
 To test for disintegration time, one tablet is placed in each tube and the basket rack is positioned in
a 1-L beaker of water, simulated gastric fluid or simulated intestinal fluid at 37 ± 2 0C such that
the tablet remain 2.5 cm below the surface of liquid on their upward movement and not closer than
2.5 cm from the bottom of the beaker in their downward movement.
 Move the basket containing the tablets up and down through a distance of 5-6 cm at a frequency
of 28 to 32 cycles per minute.
 Floating of the tablets can be prevented by placing perforated plastic discs on each tablet.
 According to the test the tablet must disintegrate and all particles must pass through the 10 mesh
screen in the time specified. If any residue remains, it must have a soft mass.

 Disintegration time: Uncoated tablet: 5-30 minutes

 Coated tablet: 1-2 hours

8. Dissolution Test (U.S.P.)


 A single tablet is placed in a small wire mesh basket attached to the bottom of the shaft
connected to a variable speed motor.
 The basket is immersed in a dissolution medium (as specified in monograph) contained in a 100
ml flask.
 The flask is cylindrical with a hemispherical bottom.
 The flask is maintained at 37±0.5 0C by a constant temperature bath.
 The motor is adjusted to turn at the specified speed and sample of the fluid are withdrawn at
intervals to determine the amount of drug in solutions.

9. HPLC
 Most widely used separation technique
 Broad applicability – organic & inorganic
 Can be very sensitive, accurate & precise
 Suitable for separation of nonvolatile species

Chromatography can be described as a mass transfer process involving adsorption using a non-
polar stationary phase and a mobile polar phase titrating through the column. The active component of
the column, the sorbent or the stationary phase, is typically a granular material made of solid particles
(e.g. silica, polymers, etc.), 2-50 μm in size. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a
chromatographic technique used to separate a mixture of compounds in analytical chemistry and
biochemistry with the purpose of identifying, quantifying or purifying the individual components of
the mixture. Before the invention of HPLC, chemists had column chromatography at their disposal,
and column chromatography was time consuming. To speed up a classic column chromatography,
chemists would have to use a short column for separation, however this lead to poor separation of
molecular components held within solution. The basic setup of a classic column chromatography
would include the column that varied in I.D. from 10 to 50nm and column lengths of 50-500cm. The
column was then packed with the stationary phase ranging in particle size from 150 to 200 μm thick.
Chemists realized that with the development of pressurized systems, reducing the particle size would
increase the efficiency. It was not until the late 60’s that chemists and industrial engineering process
acquired adequate technology and manufacturing techniques to develop a smaller grained stationary
phase that would be cohesive with a pressurized system.

10. FT-Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy


 It uses a beam of infrared light to analyze the structure of organic compounds. Whereas NMR
analyzes the atoms present, IR instead analyzes the bonds present. NMR produces a set of sharp
signals where every atom’s signal may be discerned, but IR only produces broad absorptions which
may frequently overlap. You are unlikely to be able to completely deduce a structure using only
IR. Nevertheless, IR provides a valuable tool for probing the structure of organic molecules.
 The infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is divided into three regions; the near-mid-
and far-infrared, named for their relation to the visible spectrum. The far-infrared, approximately
400-10cm-1(1000–30μm), lying adjacent to the microwave region, has low energy and may be
used for rotational spectroscopy. The mid-infrared, approximately 4000-400cm-1(30–1.4μm) may
be used to study the fundamental vibrations and associated rotational vibrational structure. The
higher energy near-IR, approximately 14000-4000cm-1(1.4–0.8μm) can excite over tone or
harmonic vibrations. The names and classifications of these sub-regions are merely conventions.
They are neither strict division nor based on exact molecular or electromagnetic properties.

11. UV Spectrophotometer
 In Pharmaceutical Industry, A spectrophotometer is commonly used for the measurement of
transmittance or reflectance of solutions, transparent or opaque solids, such as polished glass.
 However they can also be designed to measure the diffusion any of the listed light ranges that
usually cover around 200nm-2500nm using different controls and calibrations. Within these ranges
of light, calibrations are needed on the machine using standards that very in type depending on the
wavelength of the photometric determination.
 The basic function of a spectrometer is to take in light, break it into its spectral components, digitize
the signal as a function of wavelength, and read it out and display it through a computer.
 The first step in this process is to direct light through a fiber optic cable into the spectrometer
through a narrow aperture known as an entrance slit. The slit vignettes the light assist enters the
spectrometer. In most spectrometers, the divergent light is then collimated by a concave mirror and
directed onto a grating.
 The grating then disperses the spectral components of the light at slightly varying angles, which is
then focused by a second concave mirror and imaged onto the detector. Alternatively, a

MD JAVED ANSARI Page 40


ROLL NO. – 1906304021
lOMoAR cPSD| 11826054

concave holographic grating can be used to perform all three of these functions simultaneously.
This alternative has various advantages and disadvantages, which will be discussed in more detail
later on.
 Once the light is imaged onto the detectors the photons are then converted into electrons which are
digitized and read out through a USB (or serial port) to a computer.
 The software then interpolates the signal based on the number of pixels in the detector and the
linear dispersion of the diffraction grating to create a calibration that enables the data to be plotted
as a function of wavelength over the given spectral range.

MICROBIOLOGY SECTION
 The Guide to the Inspection of Pharmaceutical Quality Control Laboratories provided very limited
guidance on the matter of inspection of microbiological laboratories.
 While that guide addresses many of the issues associated with the chemical aspect of laboratory
analysis of pharmaceuticals, this document will serve as a guide to the inspection of the
microbiology analytical process.
 As with any laboratory inspection, it is recommended that an analyst (microbiologist) who is
familiar with the tests being inspected participate in these inspections.

Following processes are carried out in microbiology laboratory:


 Sterility Testing
 Antimicrobial Efficacy Testing (AFT)
 Microbial Limits Testing
 Bioburden Determination
 Endotoxin (LAL) Testing
 Environmental Monitoring and Identification
 Water Analysis

Microbiological Testing of Non-sterile Products


 For a variety of reasons, we have seen a number of problems associated with microbiological
contamination of topical drug products, nasal solutions and inhalation products.
 The USP Microbiological Attributes Chapter provides little specific guidance other than “The
significance of microorganisms in non-sterile pharmaceutical products should be evaluated in
terms of the use of the product, the nature of the product and the potential hazard to the user.”
 The USP recommends that certain categories be routinely tested for total counts and specified
indicator microbial contaminants. For example, natural plants, animals and some mineral products
for Salmonella, oral liquids for E.coli, topical for P.aeruginosa and S. aureus and articles intended
for rectal, urethral or vaginal administration for yeasts and molds. A number of specific
monographs also nclude definitive microbial limits.
 Microbiological testing may include an identification of colonies found during the Total Aerobic
Plate Count test. Again, the identification should not merely be limited to the USP indicator
organisms.
 The importance of identifying all isolates from either or both Total Plate Count testing and
enrichment testing will depend upon the product and its intended use.
 Obviously, if an oral solid dosage form such as a tablet is tested, it may be acceptable to identify
isolates when testing shows high levels. However, for other products such as topical, inhalants or
nasal solutions where there is a major concern for microbiological contamination, isolates from
plate counts as well as enrichment testing should be identified.

Sterility Testing
 One of the most important aspects of the inspection of a sterility analytical program is to review
records of initial positive sterility test results. Request list of test failures to facilitate review of
production and control records and investigation reports.
 Particularly for the high risk aseptically filled product, initial positive sterility test results and
investigations should be reviewed.
 It is difficult for the manufacturer to justify the release of a product filled aseptically that fails an
initial sterility test without identifying specific problems associated with the controls used for the
sterility test.

 Examine the use of negative controls. They are particularly important to a high quality sterility
test. Good practice for such testing includes the use of known terminally sterilized or irradiated
samples as a system control.
 Alternatively, vials or ampoules filled during media fills have also been used. Be especially
concerned about the case where a manufacturer of aseptically filled products has never found an
initial positive sterility test. While such situations may occur, they are rare.
 In one case, a manufacturer’s records showed that they had never found positive results; their
records had been falsified. Also, the absence of initial positives may indicate that the test has not
been validated to demonstrate that there is no carryover of inhibition from the product or
preservative.

Validation
 Confirmation through the provision of objective evidence that the requirements for a specific
intended use or application have been fulfilled.
 Validation is one of the important steps in achieving and maintaining the quality of the final
product. If each step of production process is validated we can assure that the final product is of
the best quality.
 Validation of the individual steps of the processes is called the process validation. Different dosage
forms have different validation protocols.

Process Validation – It is establishing documented evidence which provides a high degree of


assurance that a specific process will consistently produce a product meeting its pre-determined
specifications and quality characteristics.

Types of Process Validation


 Prospective validation
 Retrospective validation
 Concurrent validation
 Revalidation

CONCLUSION
Industrial training is very much essential for Pharmacy Students. It is also a great opportunity
to acquire practical knowledge. During my training period, in the industry I acquired lots of
experiences in Pharmaceutical Production and Production management. This will help me to clarify
my theory knowledge. I hope and pray that it will help me much in my future profession.

During our training period, we had seen the various instruments and apparatus in the industry.
The highly sophisticated instruments that work precisely must be operated with intense care for
optimum use. We could acquire a lot of information regarding the latest instruments and their working
procedures.

It was taught to us that, the CGMP guidelines are to be strictly followed in the industries in
each and every section. And the similar guideline was seen followed in Elfin Drugs Pvt. Ltd.,
Nalagarh, Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. It helped us to acquire knowledge on punctuality, regularity
and working environments in industries.

The friendly working environment in Elfin Drugs Pvt. Ltd. Will remain in our mind in near
future. Hence, we can say that our goal of attending the industrial tour is fulfilled. We acknowledge
the great help “Elfin Drugs Pvt. Ltd”.
