Extractable and leachable testing

Pace analytical life sciences llc offers wide range of services which includes extractable and leachable testing service. It has developed a comprehensive approach towards extractable and leachable testing. Its study identify extractables, compounds that can be extracted from a component under extreme conditions, and leachables, compounds that leach into a drug product from a component in direct contact with it under normal conditions. It may be composed of both organic substances and inorganic substances typically coming from plastic components, elastomers, coatings, accelerants, antioxidants, inks and vulcanizing agents. It is particularly relevant to pharmaceutical and medical device packaging where safety and packaging toxicology is being scrutinized. Testing is also important in the medical device industry when biocompatibility testing and material toxicology is being evaluated. Contact us for more information.
