QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSUARANCE
Quality control is the part of GMP that deals with sampling, specification, and testing,
as well as organisation, documentation, and release procedures to ensure that necessary
and relevant tests are performed and materials are not released for sale or supply until
their quality is judged satisfactory.The items are only released after extensive testing in
accordance with strict specifications, methods, and procedures created in accordance
with international guidelines. The Quality Control (QC) laboratory assures that the
products are pure, safe, and effective. EU cGMP, MHRA, WHO, TGA, etc.
One of the most important elements in QC laboratory programme is the quality and
assurance of the standard, which are used.
In the pharmaceutical sector, quality control is a crucial process. Drugs must be
advertised as being stable, predictable formulations that are clinically effective. A faster
rate of new and improved pharmaceuticals is being created. Additionally, more stringent
and advanced analytical techniques are being created for their examination.
Different Types Of Test Are Performed For Different Material In Qc . And Types
Of Test Performed For Each Material Are As Follows:-
1. Testing Purified water
2. Assay of different tablet
3. Disintegration Test
4. Dissolution Test
5. In Process Quality Control
6. HPLC – High Pressure Liquid Chromatography

A Stability Problem Such As The Characteristics Odour Of The Tablets
Size And Shape:- Thickness: ±5% of standard value control to facilitate
packaging. shaped tablet requires slotted punches because of the non-uniformity
force during compression
Hardness And Friability:- Both for tablet strength testing. Force required to
break a tablet in a diametric compression test is called hardness, also called tablet
crushing strength.
Friability is the resistance shown by the tablet during packing and transshipment.
Friability tester:- A tablet friability tester is used to determine the tablet’s
durability during the packing and shipping operations. Using a revolving drum
with a baffle, a sample of tablets is dropped repeatedly over a set period of time.

the materials from each other and also make it possible for us to have a clear line of
distinction between the materials that can be handled separately. Also, these
pharmaceutical raw materials are generally supplied to the pharmaceutical
manufacturing industries category wise to be sure of the materials being used and
produced. To reap the price advantage available on seasonal raw materials.
Dispensing:- Each ingredient in the tablet formula is weighed and accurately
dispensed as per dose. This is one of the critical steps in any type of formulation
process and should be done under technical supervision.
Channel:- Temprature

Granulation:-
There are three methods of preparing Tablets. These are:
Wet granulation
Dry granulation (also called slugging)
Direct compression.
Wet Granulation:-
Mixing of drugs and excipients o Mixing of milled powder
Preperation of Binder solution
Mixing of binder solution with powder mixture to form wet mass
Coarse Screening of wet mass using 6-12 mesh
Drying moist granules
Screening dry granules with lubricant and disintegrants
Mixing screened granules with lubricant and disintegrants
Tablet compression
Dry Granulation:-
Milling of drugs and excipients
Mixing of milled powders
Compression into large, hard tablets called slugs
Screening of slugs
Mixing with lubricants and disintegrating agents
Tablet compression
Direct Compression:-
Milling of drugs and excipients
Mixing of ingredients
Tablet compression

Milling Equipments:-
Rapid Mixing Granulator (RMG)
Steam Kettle
Fluid Bed Dryer (FBD)
Vibro Sifter with Loader
Tippler and Co-Mill
Rimek Communiting Mill
Conta Blender
Compressor
Rapid Mixing Granulator (RMG):-
RMG was developed for the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. With the help of
MRG Wet sieving is usually no longer necessary. After mixing the dry ingredients, wet
granulation occurs (without transferring the dry mixture) which produces large granules
in the RMG. RMG is specially designed to meet the GMP requirements of the
pharmaceutical industry.
Fluid Bed Dryer (FBD):-
In FBD, fluidized bed air vapor is introduced by a fan or blower mounted at the top
of the equipment. The air is heated to the required
temperature in the air heater and goes upward
through the wet materials, remaining in the drying
chamber equipped with a supporting wire mesh. at
the bottom. By this process, the material is
suspended and agitated in a warm air steam while
the granulation is maintained in motion.
10. [10]
Vibro Shifter With Loader:-
The shifter is a device used to filter the tablet's
ingredients with a reproducible mess ware. This
method involves the placement of power mess
particles on a screen with a uniform aperture. The
vibrator that is affixed to the sifter aids in sieving the
materials through the mesh. The mechanism of action
is to allow entrapped sub sieve particles to reach the
screen surface by loosening the parking of particle in contact with the screen surface.
Mixing:- Mixing is defined as the unit operation that combines two or more components
together by agitation, shear or mixers.
The final product of mixture contains
uniform distribution of both
components of mixture. (Example of
mixers: Blenders, Planetary mixtures,
Propellers etc.)
Compression:-
This step involves consistent flow of an adequately lubricated, uniform blend, into dies
where the granules are being compressed into
tablets. Compression is to be carried out as
per batch manufacturing record. Collect the
samples at various stages i.e. at start up, high
RPM, low RPM, low weight at target speed,
high weight at target speed, initial, as
per batch manufacturing record. Collect the
samples at various stages i.e. at start up, high
11. [11]
RPM, low RPM, low weight at target speed, high weight at target speed, initial,middle
and end of compression and carry out the testing of content uniformity and physical
parameters such as hardness, thickness, friability etc.In compression stage three batches
i.e. Batch No I, II and III shall be considered for validation. Compression results of all
the batches are well within the acceptance criteria results of the compression at different
speed, low weight at target speed, high weight at target speed, initial, middle and end of
the compression.
Coating:-
Tablets may be coated for a variety of reasons, including protection of the ingredients
from air, moisture, or light. Tablets are also coated to protect the drug against
decomposition or to disguise or
minimize the unpleasant taste of certain
medicaments. Coating also enhances the
appearance of tablets and makes them
more readily identifiable. In addition,
coatings can be resistant to gastric juices
but readily dissolve in the small
intestine. These enteric coatings
can protect drugs against
decomposition in the acid environment
of the stomach. Coating is to be carried
out as per batch manufacturing record.
Samples are collected at the end of coating stage and carried out the testing of content
uniformity and identification tests, related substances, individual impurities, and
physical parameters such as hardness, thickness, friability, etc. In coating stage three
batches i.e. Batch No I, II and III shall be considered for validation. Coating results of
all the batches are well within the acceptance criteria.

IPQC: (In Process Quality Control)
Checks performed during production in order to monitor and, if necessary, to adjust
the process to ensure that the product conforms to its specifications. The control of
the environment or equipment may also be regarded as a part of inprocess
control.In-process controls are usually performed within the production area. The
performance of such in-process controls should not have any negative effect on the
quality of the product or another product.
In-process inspection and testing should be performed by monitoring the process
or by actual sample analysis at defined locations and times. The results should
conform to established process parameters or acceptable tolerances.Work
instructions should delineate the procedure to follow and how to use the inspection
and test data to control the process.
Different Types Of In-Process Control:-
Environmental control
Building and equipment control
Control of records
Manufacturing control
Packaging control
Labeling control
Warehousing control
Finished product control
PACKAGING AND LABELLING
Packing technology is the process of enclosing or protecting a product for distribution,
storage, sale, or use. The process of designing, evaluating, and producing packages is
also referred to as packaging. Packaging is a coordinated system of preparing goods for
transportation, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use. It can be useful to organise
packages by layer or function.
13. [13]
Primary Packaging
Secondary Packaging
Tertiary Packaging
Primary Packaging:- Primary packaging is the material that first encases and holds
the product. This is typically the smallest unit of distribution or use, and it is the
package in direct contact with the content.
Secondary Packaging:- Secondary packaging is used outside of primary packaging to
prevent pilferage or to group primary packages together.
Tertiary Packing:- These are used for bulk handling, warehouse storage and transport
shipping. The most common form of palletized unit load that packs tightly into
containers.
TYPES OF PACKAGING
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. 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 semirigid 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.
14. [14]
Strip Packing:
The strip packing is done by aluminum foil or glassine poly paper. A strip package is
formed by feeding two webs of a heat sealable flexible film through either a heated
crimping roller or a heated reciprocating platen. The product is dropped into the pocket
formed prior to forming the final set of seals. A continuous set of packets is formed,
generally several packets wide depending on the packaging machine’s limitations. The
strip of packets is cut to the desired number of packets in length. The strips formed are
usually collected and packed into a folding carton. The product sealed between the two
sheets of film usually has a seal around each tablet, with perforations usually separating
adjacent packets.
Bulk Packing:-
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.
