New for 2012! Extractables & Leachables USA

Coming to Baltimore USA on 15-17 May 2012, at the Tremont Plaza and Grand Historic Venue, this forum will provide a great opportunity for delegates to come together across the pond to discuss all of the current E&L issues facing the pharma industry.

As in Europe, the examination of extractables and leachables is growing in importance in the USA, due to increased regulatory scrutiny from the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA). Regulators are concerned with the interaction of various drug delivery devices, such as metered dose and dry powder inhalers (MDI and DPI) and now parenterals and ophthalmics are of increasing interest, as well as pharmaceutical process equipment. It is therefore essential that any company involved in the supply chain - from raw material suppliers, processors, converters to the pharmaceutical supplier - is fully aware of the latest developments and best practice in generating test results and data to support successful regulatory submissions to both the FDA and EMEA.

Pira International and Smithers Rapra are jointly organising this technical forum to bring together the pharmaceutical supply chain to discuss the latest research in minimising the risks associated with extractables and leachables. The conference will provide a unique opportunity to learn about the latest developments from industry practitioners and working groups to meet regulatory requirements and ensure compatibility in drug-package combinations.
