Interview at SantExpo 2024 – Christophe Eychenne-Baron and Victoire de Margerie on relocalization of drug production to France

The pandemic exposed the overreliance on foreign suppliers for critical medical products. In this interview at SantExpo 2024, Christophe Eychenne-Baron of SEQENS Pharmaceutical Solutions and Victoire de Margerie of Rondol Group discuss the challenges and opportunities of localizing production of medicines in France and their collaboration together.

Flexible, disposable photocatalytic plastic films for the destruction of viruses

A Rondol vertical micro extruder, equipped with a slit die, was used to produce the first flexible, very thin, photocatalytic plastic film, produced by a scalable process (extrusion), for virus inactivation. Covid19 (SARS-CoV-2), influenzas A and B and other respiratory illnesses are spread by sneezing, coughing and talking; virus particles then settle on surfaces and …

Continuous manufacture to meet increased demand during a global pandemic: From bench to pilot scale

During pandemics and global crises, drug shortages become critical as a result of increased demand, shortages in personnel and lockdown restrictions that disrupt the supply chain. The pharmaceutical industry is therefore moving towards continuous manufacturing instead of conventional batch manufacturing involving numerous steps, that normally occur at different sites. Using Hydroxychloroquine Sulphate (HCQS) as the …
