AstraZeneca partners LBT Innovations for APAS pharma development

Posted on January 9, 2023January 9, 2023 by Kiran

ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA: Australian medical technology company LBT Innovations Limited (ASX: LBT) has been engaged by AstraZeneca for the full product development for its APAS Pharma product.

LBT Innovations has been engaged by AstraZeneca, a global biopharmaceutical company, to undertake a full product development project for the Company’s new APAS® Pharma analysis module (artificial intelligence software) to be used on the APAS® Independence instrument.

The APAS® Pharma analysis module will be developed to identify microbial growth on settle plates used in sterility monitoring during drug manufacturing.

Under the project, AstraZeneca will fund the development of the APAS® Pharma analysis module and validate the final product for their processes. The project is expected to cost ~AUD$1m, with payment received based on achieving a series of technical milestones.

The successful APAS® Pharma proof-of-concept was an important achievement that established confidence in the APAS® technology. APAS® Independence is an established hardware platform already developed and used by clinical laboratories.

It is expected that an APAS® Independence instrument will be deployed to AstraZeneca to support data collection and testing as part of the development for the new APAS® Pharma analysis module.

LBT Innovations CEO and Managing Director, Mr Brent Barnes said: “This partnership is really exciting for the Company. AstraZeneca leads this field and is looking to innovate its processes and set the standard for others to follow. Our APAS® technology is ideally suited for the application of microbial quality control, able to improve consistency of results and drive standardisation across manufacturing sites.”

Microbial quality control is an important production control process used to monitor the environment during sterile drug manufacture. In this process, settle plates are used continuously for the detection of microbial contamination in the air, with the vast majority, over 90%, of settle plates being negative (i.e. showing no microbial growth).

Interpretation of settle plates is subjective and relies on manual reading and reporting, which is subject to human error. This has led to increasing data integrity requirements from regulators, including the need for independent analyst verification before results can be released.

LBT’s APAS® technology is ideally suited to the application, providing improved data integrity through automation and eliminating the subjectivity of manual plate reading. APAS® Pharma uses LBT’s cutting edge imaging and artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically detect growth on settle plates, creating a digital record and plate image at the time of processing, providing increased traceability of the result. Once validated, APAS® Pharma will automatically report negative results, providing an important time saving and improved quality control traceability of results to pharmaceutical laboratories.
