In this webinar, our expert, Dr Tino Otte, Head Consulting at Intertek in Switzerland, discusses extractables and leachables studies which have been performed on multiple product types and contact materials. With increasing focus by the authorities on the accurate determination of leachables in real formulations, one of the biggest challenges is to differentiate between matrix related degradation products and real leachables from the packaging or contact materials.

Typical examples are used to illustrate how, through a strategic approach, it is possible to differentiate between the two. Furthermore, these case studies will also illustrate why it is important to analyse leachables in the actual formulation and not only in extraction solutions.
