SCALE UP AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER (MIP202T)
Scope
This course is designed to impart knowledge and skills necessary to train the students to be on
scale up, technology transfer process and industrial safety issues.
Objectives:
At completion of this course it is expected that students will be able to understand-
Manage the scale up process in pharmaceutical industry.
Assist in technology transfer.
To establish safety guidelines, which prevent industrial hazards.
THEORY 60Hrs
12Hrs
1. Pilot plant design: Basic requirements for design, facility, equipment selection, for tablets,
capsules, liquid orals, parentrals and semisolid preparations.
Scale up: Importance, Technology transfer from R & D to pilot plant to plant scale, process
scale up for tablets, capsules, liquid orals, semisolids, parentrals, NDDS products – stress on
formula, equipments, product uniformity, stability, raw materials, physical layout, input, in-
process and finished product specifications, problems encountered during transfer of technology.
