Extractables & leachables testing
Compounds from your combination product’s container closure system, delivery system, containment system, and packaging that leach into your drug product can be a safety risk. Identifying and quantifying compounds that can be extracted from the drug product contact materials through aggressive means can inform the design of a leachables study. Leachables testing quantifies leachables that may be present in your drug product, migrating into the product over time under normal use and storage conditions. Kindeva uses a wide range of analytical equipment, including GC, GC/MS, headspace GC/MS, UPLC, and high-resolution accurate mass (HRAM) LC/MS/MS, to identify and quantify extractable and leachable compounds.
