  • Video WEBINAR - Design of Robust Extractables and Leachables Studies

    To ensure patient safety, precise knowledge about potential contamination associated with a drug product container closure systems (CCS) or single use process equipment is critical. As the complexity of materials and construction of CCS or process equipment increases, the risk of leachables being introduced as drug impurities increases significantly. Authorities are focused on accurate determination of leachables present in the real drug matrix and this demands the need for sensitive and robust analytical effort and interpretation of complicated complicates data.
    During this presentation, our expert, Dr Tino Otte, Head Consulting at Intertek in Switzerland, focuses on how to design a robust extractables and leachables study design which covers all necessary steps to meet regulatory expectations whilst highlighting potential challenges of such a study with strategies and examples of how to address these challenges.

  • Video WEBINAR - Extractables and Leachables Studies for Process Materials and Container Closure Systems

    In this webinar, our expert, Dr Tino Otte, Head Consulting at Intertek in Switzerland, discuss extractables and leachables studies which have been performed on multiple product types and contact materials. With increasing focus by the authorities on the accurate determination of leachables in real formulations, one of the biggest challenges is to differentiate between matrix related degradation products and real leachables from the packaging or contact materials. Typical examples and case studies will illustrate how, through a strategic approach, it is possible to differentiate between the two. Furthermore, these case studies will illustrate why it is important to analyse leachables in the actual formulation and not only in extraction solutions.
  • Video WEBINAR - Analytical Approaches for Identification and Quantification of Impurities In Pharmaceuticals

    The characterization and quantification of impurities in pharmaceutical products is a critical part of quality control. In many cases, routine analysis techniques are not sufficient to fully characterize the impurity profile due to overlapping of peaks, low peak intensity or inaccurate mass detection. Even if the correct molar mass of a compound is known, multiple structures are still possible and the real concentration often cannot be detected due to absence of chemically similar standards. In this webinar, our expert speaker Sandro Laiso we will highlight different approaches to characterize impurities in pharmaceutical products, step by step, making use of unique combinations of analytical techniques such as PRE-LC, HR-MS or qNMR. 
  • Video WEBINAR - Repurposing Products for Inhaled Delivery - Rapid Response Strategies

    Delivery to the lungs is important for COVID-19 and there is currently an unprecedented need to accelerate development of effective therapies and vaccines. There is a focus on repurposing existing candidates as a strategic route to get the products to patients faster, however, many candidates are not yet in a format suitable for delivery to the lungs. Redevelopment must be fast, effective and accurate with tight control over quality in order to get a drug ready for clinical trials. In this webinar, Mark Parry, Technical Director, Intertek Melbourn, describes the strategies required for rapid repurposing for inhaled delivery, discussing considerations whilst mitigating anticipated challenges.

  • Video WEBINAR - Characterization and quantification of known & unknown substances by NMR

    Structure elucidation and quantification of unknown species is one of the biggest challenges during development of analytical methods for routine quality control. The advantage of the NMR is the relatively simple and robust sample preparation combined with unique selectivity which often differs from those of chromatographic techniques. In many cases, matrix components and target species will show NMR signals with opposite shifts which enables the characterization of the targets directly in the sample mixture. In this webinar, we will explain how quantitative NMR can be used as a powerful tool for characterization of isolated unknowns or even complex mixtures of different compounds. Our expert will explain the advantages of the NMR method in detail with typical examples from routine analysis.
  • Video WEBINAR - Biocompatibility - The Importance of Extractables & Leachables Testing

    To ensure patient safety, precise knowledge about potential contamination associated with medical device materials is critical. For this reason, a robust chemical characterization is the first and mandatory step of any biocompatibility study which is performed according to the most recent version of the ISO 10993 guidance. With increasing complexity of medical devices and combination products, the risk of leachables being introduced into the body increases significantly. Depending on the type/class of device, application scenario and contact time, extractables and leachable studies can be divided in different sub-steps to build a comprehensive understanding of the related risks. 
    During this webinar, our expert, Dr Tino Otte, Head Consulting at Intertek in Switzerland, will provide an analytical strategy for e/l screenings with a focus on the problems which may occur when targets above the analytical evaluation threshold are detected.
