Abstract
Today, Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) are well recognized as a set of tools within the pharmaceutical industry. However, the application for in-line or on-line measurements did not find the same response throughout the industry. Instead, the level of implementation ranges from a few pharmaceutical manufacturers using PAT as a key tool in the quality control process to many companies not yet engaging in the use of PAT at all. This article provides an overview on PAT, followed by an analysis for the use case of upgrading a container blending process with PAT. As such it is meant to be a guideline for management, technical operation and quality assurance in the understanding and decision towards the introduction of PAT.
