The successful adoption of single-use technologies in a biopharmaceutical process largely relies on confidently selecting the right components for use in the fluid path of a product, within a specific process. An important step in choosing such components requires generating an extractables profile, which can be done by carefully selecting the solvent streams and extraction conditions to model the product and process steps complemented with the right analytical strategy.

This webinar will give an overview of the E&L evaluation workflow and practical study approaches from both supplier and end-user perspective, in accordance with the latest industry’s standards and upcoming USP <665> requirements. Case studies will be presented on how the data from suppliers are used to mitigate risk associated to SU materials, highlighting the key role of collaboration between the supplier and the drug manufacturer.

Single-use plastic systems are being utilized more frequently especially for COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing. However, there are issues regarding standardization of quality information that limits implementation efficiencies. One of the challenges is the evaluation of leachables derived from a variety of different plastic components in a timely manner.

A Single-Use System (SUS) is typically designed for a specific process step. In many cases, single-use components are chosen based on their functionality. The challenge arises when there are multiple processing steps- as the different applications and product matrices are evaluated, the complexity of the risk assessment increases. Complexity includes component evaluation, process conditions, and model solvents streams which ultimately relates to the patient safety risk.
