Join us for a free 2-day live event on March 26 & 27, where Nelson Labs will address various aspects and challenges faced by equipment manufacturers, biopharmaceutical companies, and testing labs when qualifying Disposable Bioprocessing Equipment from a safety perspective. The event will cover a broad array of technical, scientific, and regulatory considerations that need to be considered when designing the right assessment approach for production equipment. Our event will be moderated by Carsten Worsoe, of Novo Nordisk.
The introduction of Disposable Bioprocessing Equipment in Biopharmaceutical manufacturing began over 20 years ago. Since then, significant progress has been made by equipment and system manufacturers, as well as end-users, in understanding the necessary qualifications from an Extractables/Leachables (E/L) perspective. Improved testing guidance (BPSA, BPOG, and USP<665>) has been developed, providing clearer instructions on designing, performing, and evaluating tests.
International Regulations mandate that materials of construction and manufacturing systems must not adversely affect the safety, identity, strength, quality, or purity of the Drug Product. While the symposium primarily focuses on the safety of drug products using single-use technology, other aspects of the qualification process will also be discussed.
Safety Qualification of Disposable Bioprocessing Equipment typically involves evaluating the production line through analytical data from a well-designed E/L study.
