June 26, 2017 - June 27, 2017
Regulations direct drug product manufacturers to exclude foreign matter and minimize foreign particle content. Particles can originate from the environment, packaging materials, formulation ingredients, interactions between product and packaging, or be inherent to the product. For inherent species, or the expected formulation-related particle species, which techniques may be most appropriate? This workshop will be a forum for discussing the control and determination of undesired visible and sub-visible particulate matter and also characterization of inherent particle species in biopharmaceuticals.
