An initiative to expedite thorough extractable/leachables uations for patient & product safety
Intertek, a leading quality solutions provider to industries worldwide organised and presented a seminar “Manage yourExtractable& Leachables Risk” on Wednesday, 9th April 2014 at The Lalit, Mumbai. This one day seminar focused on providing detailed information and practical guidance on the issues associated with extractables and leachables (E/L)studies.An important part of pharmaceutical development is the assessment of substances that could potentially leach (leachables) into the drug product from packaging, components of printing ink, catalyst residues and heavy metals. E/L studiesprovide qualitative and quantitative data to build a comprehensive profile of extractable components and determine the extent to which such components actually leach and potentially contaminate a drug substance or drug product. The seminar provided insightful details regarding analytical approaches for uating E/L from different sources such as packaging or printing inks and also expert guidance on how to interpret analytical data in order to gain insight into risk assessment and validation of different manufacturing processes from an extractables and leachables perspective.
