The mission of the PAT Committee is to take a leading role in helping the global effort to bring the lyophilization/freeze drying process into compliance with the PAT guidelines by taking a leading role in setting standards and test procedures for not only the process but also the associated equipment and instrumentation. The Committee will accomplish this by working with other organization who share a common interest in PAT. The first such organization that the Society has joined in this effort is the E55 Committee of ASTM.
