What makes Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) technology a powerful option for products that don’t fit the standard packaging model? In this episode, Oliver speaks with Andy about how BFS is being used to create custom, single-dose liquid packaging for specialized applications, from surgical and ophthalmic products to vascular flushes.They explore what makes BFS different, the flexibility of custom machinery and container designs, and how the technology can handle challenging formulations such as viscous liquids, emulsions, and suspensions. If you work in pharmaceutical, medical, or liquid-dose packaging, this conversation offers a closer look at where BFS can create real product and market advantages.#BlowFillSeal #BFSTechnology #PharmaceuticalPackaging #PackagingInnovation

What really happens behind the scenes when a pharmaceutical sample is tested? In this episode of Quality Time, Oliver Stauffer sits down with Dave Exline, President of Gateway Analytical, to explore particulate analysis, Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT), GMP laboratory support, and the critical role of quality in pharmaceutical testing. They discuss the complexity behind a single test result and why robust analytical practices are essential in a regulated environment. The conversation also looks ahead at the evolving role of analytical testing and CCIT in the pharmaceutical industry.#PharmaceuticalTesting #CCIT #GMP #PharmaceuticalQuality

What does it take to build a successful Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT) strategy?In this episode of Quality Time with Oliver Stauffer, Michael Dominguez shares practical insights from over a decade of experience in CCIT. Learn about risk assessments, method development, validation, statistical justification, lifecycle thinking, and how sponsors and testing laboratories can work together to ensure reliable, compliant, and cost-effective package integrity testing.Whether you're involved in pharmaceutical quality, validation, or packaging, this conversation offers valuable guidance to help you avoid common pitfalls and improve your CCIT program.#CCIT #ContainerClosureIntegrity #PharmaPackaging #QualityAssurance

In the final part of our conversation with David, we discuss the future of package validation, optimizing aging studies, and why the industry should adopt a more science-driven approach instead of relying on legacy practices.

In this closing segment of Quality Time, the conversation brings together the many threads of data integrity across modern quality systems. From linking chromatography data systems with deviation and OOS investigations to understanding why CSV, Part 11, and data integrity are not interchangeable, the discussion emphasizes the need for a truly holistic approach.

Guest Andrew Terris shares parting insights on why quality culture, transparency, and asking the right questions are just as critical as technical controls. The episode leaves listeners with a clear message: sustainable data integrity requires aligned systems, compliant processes, and a culture that supports accountability and continuous improvement.

In this episode of Quality Time, the discussion dives into how data integrity is evaluated in real-world regulated environments, particularly within laboratories and GMP systems. The conversation covers what “good” data integrity looks like versus warning signs, from system permissions and data historians to Excel usage with GMP data.

Using practical lab examples such as chromatography, system suitability, calibration drift, and test bracketing, the episode highlights why robust test and measurement systems—and how people respond when results are out of bounds—are critical. Ultimately, data integrity is shown to be as much about culture and human behavior as it is about technology.
