While people tend to think worldwide supply chain issues or supply conflicts impacting specific markets affect all companies in a distressed field equally, regardless of efforts to mitigate the negative occurrence’s impact, this simply is not true. Anticipatory planning and established supply disruption mitigation plans often enable market access before competitors — in advance of suffocating demand — while mitigating or eliminating concomitant supply chain problems like cost or timeline overruns, as well as lapses in material quality or security of supply.

The spray drying of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is a technology widely used to enhance bioavailability for poorly soluble materials, dry heat-sensitive pharmaceuticals, and perform particle engineering. Spray drying is a process in which a solution of API and a polymer are rapidly dried to produce an amorphous powder. The fact that it allows for the customization of powder characteristics, particularly solubility, renders it a preferential technology for the increasing number of molecules that have become pharmaceutical candidates in recent years.

Quality and compliance might be associated with bottlenecks and the creation of complexity, but it does not have to be like this. When a CMO has the right quality culture, knowledgeable quality personnel are involved in the earliest phases of customer projects and everyone upholds a customer-centric vision; a reliable, flexible, and transparent quality system is the norm.
