In the pharmaceutical industry, safety and quality are paramount. One critical aspect of ensuring the safety of pharmaceutical products is extractables and leachables (E&L) testing. This testing process examines the potential migration of substances from containers, packaging materials, and drug delivery systems into the drug products themselves. By understanding the reasoning behind E&L testing, we can appreciate its role in protecting public health and enhancing customer trust. West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. is a leader in developing comprehensive studies to evaluate container closure systems in real world simulations, providing customers with a better understanding of their leachable profile and how that could affect drug stability.
