SPOTLIGHT ON: PHARMACEUTICAL GLASS FLAWS
Live webinar
This 2.5-hour training webinar covers the visual identification of flaws in pharmaceutical glass containers, specifically flaws in molded and tubing pharmaceutical glass containers such as vials and syringes. 
For each flaw, attendees will learn its identifying characteristics, its source, and the effect that the flaw has on container performance. Hundreds of photographs will provide attendees representative examples of each flaw.
 The webinar also includes a discussion of flaw severity categories (critical, major, minor or cosmetic) and a brief overview of pharma glass manufacturing processes. Trainees will also be provided with crucial information for corrective actions.
Topics to be Covered:
- Identification, effects, and sources for over 40 flaws
- Lexicon of flaws in pharma glass
- Overview of PDA TR 43
- Flaw severity classification
- Introduction to vial manufacturing processes
- Covers both tubing and molded containers
The webinar is one 2.5-hour live presentation (with an intermission). The webinar will be recorded and attendees can replay the presentation at their convenience.

The webinar will be conducted by AGR Senior Scientist, Dr. Brandon Aldinger.
 Brandon joined American Glass Research in 2015, where his areas of responsibility include fracture diagnosis, stone identification, pharmaceutical services, and internal research.
He co-authored the "Color Atlas of Glass Container Defects" , a photographic guidebook for manufacturers, fillers, and trade suppliers that can help to quickly identify and resolve defect problems. This volume delivers a common lexicon for understanding defects that often go by  several names in different industry sectors. With over 450 original photographs on 154 pages, the atlas is hardbound on high-quality photo paper and provides detailed descriptions of 65 defects that occur in container glass.
Brandon obtained his B.S. in Chemistry at Penn State University and went on to earn his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Cornell University.
