Novartis drug Votubia® approved in the EU as first medication to treat patients with non-cancerous kidney tumors associated with TSC

Novartis received approval from the European Commission (EC) for Votubia® (everolimus) tablets for the treatment of adult patients with renal angiomyolipoma associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) who are at risk of complications (based on factors such as tumor size or presence of aneurysm, or presence of multiple or bilateral tumors) but who do not require immediate surgery. This marks the first approval of a medical treatment in this patient population in Europe.

Raw Materials Verification Through Non-Transparent Packaging – New Technology

Cobalt Light Systems presents RapID, a radically different instrument for RMID that verifies most APIs and excipients through paper, plastic, glass, woven bags, blue barrels and other common pharmaceutical packaging in 5-15 seconds without opening the container.  This benefits sterile/parenteral manufacturing and high-volume production by avoiding sampling and contamination. A live presentation on implementing RapID at a manufacturing site is free to attend 19th November 3pm GMT.

WEBINAR: Accelerating and Automated Rapid Microbial Testing

Date: Wednesday 14 November 2012
Time: 3pm GMT
Length: 1 hour

Rapid microbial testing methods in quality control continue to gain acceptance in pharmaceutical manufacturing, but most companies continue to use manual, traditional methods. The ability to uncover results in less time than traditional methods provides compelling benefits to manufacturers. These benefits can be realised in environmental monitoring, sterility testing, water and bioburden testing.

Learn from experts where rapid technologies, like the Growth Direct™ System can have an impact on microbial quality control and ultimately manufacturing.

Attendees of the event will learn:

* The limitations of the traditional methods
* The importance of non-destructive testing
* The benefits of automated, rapid detection
