What are extractables & leachables reports?
The risk and toxicological assessment of extractable and leachable impurities is a crucial process in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the safety and quality of products.
These impurities, which can migrate from packaging materials or medical devices into the final product, represent a potential risk to patients. Regulators such as the FDA and EMA require detailed reports to support the safety of drugs and medical devices.
