In industries where product safety and quality are paramount, the meticulous examination and mitigation of Extractables and Leachables (E&L) risks play a pivotal role. At Gateway Analytical, a leading provider of advanced research and development solutions, we offer comprehensive and state-of-the-art E&L testing services to diverse industries, including pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
Our FDA-inspected, ISO-accredited, and cGMP-compliant laboratories serve as the crucible where we ensure the safety and integrity of your products by identifying and managing the potential risks associated with Extractables and Leachables. In this scientific blog post, we will delve into the profound significance of E&L testing and elucidate how Gateway Analytical can proficiently assist your company in achieving regulatory compliance and safeguarding product safety through rigorous analysis.
The Significance of Extractables and Leachables Testing: Extractables denote compounds that have the propensity to be extracted from container closure systems when exposed to solvents or other substances. Leachables, on the other hand, refer to compounds that migrate or leach into the drug product formulation as a direct consequence of contact with the formulation. The meticulous identification and assessment of these compounds are essential in ensuring the safety, efficacy, and stability of pharmaceutical products and other consumer goods.
Profound Understanding of Extractables and Leachables Testing: E&L testing is an all-encompassing process that entails the meticulous analysis of container closure systems and the comprehensive evaluation of potential compound migration into the product formulation. At Gateway Analytical, we harness cutting-edge analytical techniques to accurately identify and quantify extractable and leachable compounds.
