Yes, thank you for stating the obvious. D'oh.

 

Yes, I've watched many episodes of "How's That Made".

 

My question pertained to the usage by the Thai Department of Medical Sciences, director-general, Dr. Supakit Sirilak. Has he ever worked in manufacturing? The article mentioned both batches and lots.

 

Is a batch a lot? Is a lot a batch? How many units in a batch (if variable give the range)? 

 

I've got to believe the equipment, components and 'recipe' dictates the approximate size of the batch. And that each batch is probably +/- 10% in volume.

 

Honestly, all we need to understand is the total volume of all the batches. After all, batches aren't administered to people.

 

Forgive me if this is too much to ask.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm sure you are correct in that the batch size depends on the equipment. How big is a 'typical' bioteactor for instance.

Good question and probably very difficult to ascertain as it may be considered a trade secret.
