Introduction

In the context of the continuous development of the global pharmaceutical industry, drug safety and production efficiency have become the core goals pursued by various pharmaceutical companies. In recent years, with the gradual updating and improvement of the appendix of the “Good Manufacturing Practice for Drugs” (2010 version GMP) regulations, the country’s supervision and requirements for the pharmaceutical industry have become increasingly strict.

In the face of these challenges, Canaan Technology is no longer satisfied with assisting customers in providing verification documents. It can now provide full process verification from device installation to performance qualification (PQ), with comprehensive service upgrades.

Verify Service Cases

Taking a pharmaceutical company in Tianjin as an example, the customer has newly purchased a Coater with Perforated Drum and a Post Bin Blender, and Canaan Technology is responsible for the design, production, installation, commissioning, testing, and verification work.

After the equipment arrives at the workshop, both parties jointly determine the verification plan and conduct equipment verification.
