Medicamen was initiated in Dec. 1993 as a distributor and trader of
medicines manufacturing on loan license basis. The distribution activities
were spread manifold over a wide market expending beyond the domestic
market musty CIS countries The wide distribution network with demand
for low cost medicines prompted the promoters to go for own production
of medicine.
The liberalized industrial policy of the Indian government has also
encouraged the promoter towards manufacturing. As a consequence
medicament commissioned its state of the art ultra modern
pharmaceutical manufacturing plant at the industrial area of Bhiwadi.

high quality.
(b) Mixing of the powdered ingredients and excipients:-
21
Appropriate quantities of raw material mixed in a mass mixer in accordance
with GMP for blending of free flowing material with components of uniform
size and density.
(c) Converting the mixed ingredient into granules:-Granulating agent is
added in a mixed material; generally starch past is added to form a raw
material appropriate for granulation. Two method are used for granulation
1. Wet granulation: Dumped mass formed by mixing of drug material with
liquid placed in material for making granules which than dried in tray dryer
or fluidized bed dryer. Their dried granules are than screened by shifter.
2. Dry granulation: For dry granulation evaporating solutions are used
mixing of raw material is than placed into the roll compactor, through which
we get slug which than crushed and screened by shifter.

5. INPROCESS QUALITY CONTROL TEST
5.1 Tablet:-
(1) Hardness (Limit N.M.T 1.0%):-
Tablets require a certain amount of strength, or hardness to withstand
mechanical shocks of handling in manufacturer, packaging and shipping. In
addition, tablets should be able to withstand reasonable abuse when in the
hands of consumer.
The following devices are commonly used by analyst to find out the
hardness of tablet.
Monsanto Hardness Tester:-
The

2. In process control:-
There is a real and significant difference between a finished product and the
quality assurance of the manufacturing process.
For control sample size usually taken as-
1. 100 tablets [ 10 packets ]
2. 10 bottles of liquid
3. 10 bottle of powder
4. 100 capsule [ 10 packet]
There are many equipment used in each section for testing during the in
process are-
1. Electronic balance
2. Disintegration test apparatus
3. Friability test apparatus
4. Hardness tester
5. Vernier calipers
31
6. Measuring cylinders
Description:-Describe physical property of sample as color, odor, physical
state.
Solubility:-Maximum amount of solute dissolve in minimum quantity of
solvent.
Identification:-Conformation about sample.
Color & color of solution:-Substances give specific color in presence of
reagent specified in I.P.
Limit test:-Quantitative and semi qualitative determination of elements
present in sample.
Loss on drying:-Rare observed water or water of hydration is determined by
specified condition.
Sulphated ash:-Sample dissolves in sulphuric acid and put in to MUFFLE
FURNACE. Determined residue as sulphated ash.
Titration:-Titrand and titrent are used in titration in standardization of
solution.
Assay:-To determine actual quantity of active ingredient present in sample.
Disintegration:-A generally accepted maxim is that for a drug to be readily
available to the body, it must be in solution. For most tablets, the first most
important step towards solution is breakdown of the tablet in to smaller
particles or granules, a process knowledge known as disintegration.
32
Test for water:-This test is done to determined quantity of moisture/water
present in sample. Determined by KARL FISHER titrametric method.
4. chromatographic method:-
Now days TLC is replaced by HPLC and rarely used in Medicamen Biotech
Ltd.
