INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Biopharmaceuticals define as pharmaceuticals biological in nature and manufactured using biotechnology. Mean while drugs comprise the other major subset of pharmaceuticals, with their source and manufacture being chemical in nature [11]. The purpose of analyzing the RF radiation exposure on biological pharmaceuticals for RF application is to study on RF radiation, analyzed the characterized of RF radiation exposure and experimental the implication of RF radiation on biological pharmaceuticals for RF application.

under Biologics License Application (BLA) and New Drug Application (NDA) [2]. Mean while, have a lots of encourage future research involve RF application such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) due to insufficient information about potential impact of RF on biologics. The RF application used to track and trace on number or code, and maintain supply chain visibility of products.

By history, the RFID system is replacing the bar code technology which has been using past years [6]. The type of bar codes system in RFID is effective which applied the Universal Product Code (UPC) for unique individual items compare to the Electronic Product Code (EPC) for unique to product. The RFID system gets the information from ID and dates which provide more information in real time and sensor temperature sensitive products entirely. The information is valuable in term of product shipment and the product in market based on current real time e-pedigree which can prevent missed used or food and drugs. The RF radiation can analyze in term of temperature and frequency combination. The thermal effect arise from noticeable change in temperature which comparable to conventional heating. The product heating factors may due to frequency of EM source, dielectric constant, content of water and the thickness of products [3,7]. The product and substance greater in conductivity absorb greater amount of radiation which turn generates more heat. Studies have shown that environmental levels of RF energy routinely encountered by the general public are far below levels necessary to produce significant heating and increased body temperature [29 -34].

twice than Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved for RF application. A standard was adopted by the FCC for protection against any effects of RF radiation in August 1996 [27, 28]. It because, to maximized the analyze experiment test to investigated the effect on purity and potential stable integrity went RF radiation exposure on biological pharmaceuticals for RF application. Direct and indirect effect on central nervous system has been reported by Soviets at level below 10Mw/cm2._[12,13].

The most recent and most intense public concern stems from both the passage of Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 [14,15], and the increasing sales of Microwave ovens [16]. There is considerable data on hemoglobin solution and whole blood, some data skin, and some interest in cellular effects [17, 18]. Ultraviolet irradiation has been subjected of interest for many years due to the hazarders involved [19, 20].

1.5 Report Structure

The report structure is the detail of the report ingredients or the layout that divided into few chapters. In this reports, there are six chapter were it is introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion and conclusion chapters.

First of first, introduction chapter is chapter one. This introduction chapter will cover briefly describe about the background and overview of this project. Besides that, this chapter covers problems statement, objectives, scope of the project, expected outcome and methodology.

Following that, second chapter contains the literature review or research to get information about this project. In order to get the information which is related, there will have many resources can gained from, such as internet, journals, books and etc. Those facts, figure and information that found from the resources will use as references and informative data. This information will used in this project by comparing info and founds the best method and technique that can implement or add in this project.

In chapter three, mainly focuses on the methodology of the way the project is carried out. In here, the step, methods and process of the experiment and planning schedules of projects will discuss more detail. Follow this methodology will get a better view, proper planed work scope and better understanding on project flow.

By that, all the comparison study and analyzing is carried out. The well presentable graph, figure and chart will produce in order to summarized the result part overall. Based on the outcome of all table, graph and chart will be briefly discussed. All testing results are attached with the proper aid of figure and table.

Chapter five is the discussion chapter. In this chapter, the results based discussion will carry out. All the fact and figure is declared with giving proper reasons based on theoretical fact. The interrelationship between the theoretical and practical will detailed. The observed, analyzed, and measured fact is well detailed and declared.

The chapter six is the conclusion chapter. This chapter will conclude the whole procedures of the project that including project finding, achievement analysis and conclusion of the research implementation that had been used. If necessary, this chapter can discuss about the suggestion for enhancement in future of the project.

2.2 Food & Drug Administration

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at United States is responsible for protect and promoting public health by regulation and supervision on food safety, dietary supplements, medications, vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, electromagnetic radiation devices and many more. The Centre for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is one of branch under United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) where it responsible on premarket approval of medicine device and overseeing manufacturing, performance and safety of devices. The CDRH also responsible for the radiation safety performance of non medical devices which emit certain range electromagnetic radiation.

FDA not allows drugs covered under Biologics License Application (BLA) and New Drug Application (NDA) [8]. Mean while, have a lots of encourage future research involve RF application such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) due to insufficient information about potential impact of RF on biologics [23]. The RF application used to track and trace on number or code, and maintain supply chain visibility of products. By history, the RFID system is replacing the bar code technology which has been using past years [6]. The type of bar codes system in RFID is effective which applied the Universal Product Code (UPC) for unique individual items compare to the Electronic Product Code (EPC) for unique to product .
