Title: A Strategic Framework to De-Risk Unidentified Organic Extractables
Date/Time: Day 2: 11 November – 2:50pm
Presenter: Philippe Verlinde, PhD, Principle Scientist, Nelson Labs
-
Why unidentified NTA compounds are more than an analytical inconvenience, the real risk when unknowns may belong to Cohorts of Concern or ICH Q3E Class 1 substances
-
A structured three-phase framework to systematically de-risk unidentified extractables, from structural class definition through to spectral library expansion
-
A purpose-built database of ~133 reference CoC compounds enabling high-confidence identification and semi-quantification directly within NTA workflows
-
How SciFinder and commercial spectral libraries unlock identification of over 700 additional CoC compounds within routine GC/MS and LC/MS analysis
-
A more defensible, science-based approach to demonstrating that high-risk unknowns above the AET have been adequately characterised and addressed
