Abstract: Embodiments of the present application relate to batches of bupivacaine multivesicular liposomes (MVLs) prepared by a commercial manufacturing process using independently operating dual tangential flow filtration modules.

Abstract: An apparatus may include a transparent platen, a command interface, a scanner unit, a controller and an indicator. The command interface is to receive externally originating instructions including a selected scaling value, other than 100%, for a scanning operation of a document resting against the transparent platen, wherein contents of the document to be scanned are proportionally magnified or shrunk based on the selected scaling value The controller controls a scanner unit to capture a portion of the transparent platen, the portion having borders automatically determined and proportionally changed by the controller based upon the selected scaling value. The indicator provides a visible indication of the portion.
