Designing Effective and Efficient Extractables or Leachables Studies

Learn the key phases of an extractables and leachables (E/L) study, including literature gap analysis and efficient study design as mandated by FDA guidelines for drug and biologics packaging. Given the heightened scrutiny of biotechnology drug products, optimizing E/L testing is essential for conserving time and resources.

Join our interactive webinar for a comprehensive E/L study overview, explore valuable literature sources for preliminary insights, and discover how to bridge gaps in information to streamline your study design. We'll delve into E/L study procedures, data management, and real-world case studies while addressing common sponsor challenges.
