Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies need to transfer technology during drug development. This may occur either during scale-up processes or between test sites. Ensure that your transfer meets your specifications and regulatory agency requirements by approaching technology transfer in a consistent, step-wise, and risk-based manner.

Technology transfer is crucial to conveying information and knowledge between independent sites at a single company or between different workplaces.  Transferring technology is frequently necessary for process development, manufacturing, and analytical testing. Transfer of scientific and process information is necessary since sites used for development may not be able to support full manufacturing or testing in a GMP environment.   Technology used at one site during early development often needs to be transferred to secondary sites or to a separate company or business unit.  Process development may involve innovative techniques or quick changes to methods and processes done on a small scale that now need to be transferred to large scale.  The information on the final process, including specific details for scale-up requires careful implementation to maintain quality.  Manufacturing and analytical testing are frequently not developed at sites that will perform those services.  Initial processes and test methods may change during the final stages prior to technology transfer.  Assuring that the process is clearly understood and appropriately run requires excellent tools in technology transfer.  When information is not clearly presented the process may not follow all steps as required with the possible result of system or product failures.  Identifying and understanding the key issues and pitfalls prior to initiating technology transfer can lead to successful implementation of a process or test method between different sites.
