General description
Packaging
Preparation Note
3 autoclave cycles of 60 min @ 123 °C; not in-line steam sterilizable
Analysis Note
Samples were quantitatively retentive of a minimum Brevundimonas diminuta challenge concentration of 1 x 10⁷ CFU/cm² using ASTM® F838 methodology.
After sterilization and a controlled water flush of 21 L, samples exhibited less than 500 ppb TOC per USP <64> and less than 1.3 µS/cm per USP <64> at 25 °C.

Articles
Key aspects of single-use assembly qualification including quality by design (QbD), quality risk management (QRM) and operator handling and training.
Before adoption of single-use technologies in biomanufacturing, manufacturers must assess the risk to the drug product from potential leachables. This article highlights a general approach based on the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
