Pill counting or tablet counting with the help of photoelectric cells and motion sensors is now an established practice, be it for filling pharmaceutical bottles, or for the purpose of verifying manual counts. Although there are still a few limitations to how much and what pill counting tech can do even today, automated pill counting has managed to achieve some wonderful and unprecedented results for the pharmaceutical industry in recent years. Taking a brief look over the crucial facets of tablet counting, the tech behind it, and the limitations of the process should help us get a better picture of where things stand. Advantages of Photoelectric Pill Counting The degree to which a pill counting process can be usefulwill vary from process to process, but the prime benefits can be...

When we think of reprogramming, most of us think about software and other electronics. Few people outside of the scientific community imagine that we can reprogram our own biological cells. And yet, that's exactly what some of the latest innovations are doing. Today's molecular genetics software is more capable than most people imagined when molecular genetics took off about 40 years ago. Now, it's constantly improving and evolving.  What does this mean for the laboratories of today? For those who use molecular genetics software, it means exciting changes and high demands. Perhaps one day, the genetic disorders that impact humanity will be relegated to the history books.  Molecular Genetics Software: What We Can Do Today  For those who use molecular genetics softwar...

Contamination in the pharmaceutical industry is and has always been a major concern. However, as the general public is getting savvier, and after so many horror stories have made the news, more people are paying attention to it. Regulations are also tightening up to combat the issue, and manufacturers now have to do more to ensure the safety of the public and prove it as well. This all starts by identifying the issues at the source and taking the steps necessary to fix them. Let's take a look at some of the most common causes of contamination in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Personnel Issues One big cause of contamination in pharmaceutical manufacturing actually has to do with your workforce. This is also one of the toughest ones to control. Lack of training is at the top of t...

The pharmaceutical industry is popular for implementing a deliberate approach concerning new technologies. Automated cell counters involve crucial tools used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing and bioprocessing. This is especially because drug manufacturing usually involves strict regulatory controls, thus the need for automation in the manufacturing process. Automated cell counters help keep track of manufacturing approaches, thus guaranteeing reliability. Also, they elevate precision in cell counting. This article explains the benefits offered by automated cell counters.         Improved Precision Understanding cell count is critical in the biopharmaceutical industry. Precision involves the closeness of recurrent measurements to each other. T...
