Protect your product from the packaging with the study of Extractables and Leachables, comply with international regulations and guarantee its quality and safety

Guarantee the safety and quality of your products

At Netpharmalab we are specialists in the study of Extractables and Leachables (E&L), a key process to ensure the quality of products in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and cosmetic sectors. This study allows us to identify and quantify substances that can migrate from packaging, contact materials or processes to the final product, thus guaranteeing its safety throughout its shelf life.

What is the Extractables and Leachables study?

The Extractables and Leachables study aims to analyze the substances that can migrate from packaging materials to the product. These substances, known as extractables and leachables, can put consumer safety at risk, so this study is essential to:

  • Comply with international regulations.
  • Prevent contamination risks.
  • Guarantee patient or consumer safety.

Applications of the study of Extractables and Leachables in different industries

  • Pharmaceutical industry: ensures that packaging materials and delivery systems do not affect the safety or efficacy of the drug.
  • Medical devices: protects the safety of the end user by preventing the migration of unwanted substances during the manufacturing process.
  • Biotechnology industry: maintains the stability of sensitive biological products against possible contaminants.
  • Cosmetics industry: prevents contamination of cosmetic products to preserve their purity and efficacy.
