Through in-depth knowledge and a fully-validated autoclave, Element provides pharmaceutical container and packaging testing services to various pharmacopeia methods including USP, EP, and JP methods.
The packaging system used to deliver pharmaceuticals to patients is a crucial part of product development. Containers must be capable of retaining the therapeutic efficacy of a drug product from the time of packaging through to administration. Containers that do not meet the specifications of the major compendia can compromise the safety and effectiveness of the drug product.
We provide professional testing services for containers, container closures and pharmaceutical packaging on a broad range of polymers and glass containers to several pharmacopeia methods, including USP <660>, USP <661> and USP <671>; EP and JP methods.
We also offer Atomic Absorption Spectrometry with hydride generation to support full EP monograph requirements, as well as extractables and leachables testing to evaluate the potential for chemicals to migrate from the container closure into the product and demonstrate that your package meets the required specifications.
Our pharmaceutical container and packaging testing services are supported by state-of-the-art laboratory equipment, including a fully-validated autoclave.
