White Paper: Extractables & Leachables
Published January 2021
Abstract:
Extractables are chemicals that, under forced conditions, extract from components of a manufacturing or packaging system into a solvent. Compounds that can migrate into the drug product because of contact with manufacturing systems, container closure systems, and drug delivery device components are known as leachables. The assessment of any detected extractables and leachables that are above the analytical evaluation threshold is critical to determining the overall product safety.
