Fast track your extractables risk assessment

All polymeric components, such as the filters and single-use systems used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing, must be assessed for safety through an evaluation of extractables and potential leachables. Extractables are compounds that can be extracted from these materials, while leachables are compounds that leach from the materials into the process stream. An understanding of extractables is essential as it can help identify the leachables that may enter a process stream.

With our Emprove® Program, developing an extractables profile for filters and single-use systems no longer requires a time- and resource-intensive compilation of a vast amount of data. Instead, our Emprove® Operational Excellence Dossiers provide you with reliable extractables data based on industry standards and guidelines established by the BioPhorum Operations Group's (BPOG) standardized testing protocol and USP <665> chapters. The datasets generated facilitate your safety risk assessment, accelerating your ability to identify potential leachables and calculate patient exposure based on process conditions, total surface area in contact with the product, batch size and final drug product maximum daily dose.

A full spectrum of services for extractables and leachables risk assessment

Together with our BioReliance® Validation Services experts, we provide a higher level of confidence in safety risk assessment through careful selection of well-characterized materials, experience in identifying and analyzing potential leachables (or process-specific extractables) data, and expertise in the design and execution of need-based leachables studies. Because every product and process is unique, we tailor our approach to deliver best-in-class services and robust results that meet global industry standards, even as the standards continue to evolve.
