Extractables and Leachables: Trends and Future Directions A roundtable discussion

Register Free: https://www.chromatographyonline.com/lcgc_w/extractables_r

Event Overview:

The characterization of extractables and leachables is important for ensuring product safety for both drugs and medical devices. In the last few years, the issuance of the ISO 10993-18:2020 medical device guidance and several high-profile publications and round-robin studies have resulted in the FDA increasing scrutiny of E&L analyses. These studies pointed to concerns regarding the way E&L was conducted. The complexity of these changes has been increased by the fact that the best practices and regulatory requirements for drugs and medical devices are different but not always appreciated. This roundtable discussion will provide an open forum for discussing these changes and for exploring current best practices. The panelists will also discuss the regulatory trends they see for E&L into the future.

Key Learning Objectives:

• What are the key differences between drug and device E&L studies?
• What changes have occurred in the field of E&L over the last 2 years?
• What does the future look like for E&L and what questions remain to be answered?

Who Should Attend:

• E&L analysts and lab managers
• Researchers interested in E&L testing in Food/Pharma/Medical Device/Consumer Products/Polymer Manufacturing/CRO’s/CMO’s and other
• Analysts performing untargeted analyses including drug impurity profiling
• Quality Assurance experts in the above industries
