Presentation Abstract
Container and package qualification requirements for regulated life science products have rapidly evolved over the last decade, and continue to do so. At the same time, there has been a proliferation of novel products requiring unique package systems or processes. Deep and ultra-cold storage of vaccines, cell and gene therapy products, are an example of this. At these extreme cold temperatures, elastomers reaching glass transition impose unique risk to package integrity relative to more traditional products stored at less aggressive temperatures. As with all pharma, biotech, and medical device products, a robust container qualification program is required to identify, characterize, and mitigate risks throughout the product lifecycle. Through this presentation, CS Analytical will review risks, qualification, and control strategies specifically for these unique systems. Topics will include a review of relevant compendial (USP / EP), and non-compendial tests and USP <1207> Container Closure Integrity through the product lifecycle – from development to stability.
