ÌÇÐÄlogoÃ×·ÆÍÃoffers an extended range of extractables and leachables training services covering the use of materials in packaging and medical applications to keep you up-to-date with the ever-changing regulations.

The guidelines for pharmaceutical packaging, manufacturing equipment and medical devices are continually progressing. Knowledge of the composition of these components at a very early stage in process development is essential to determine their leachable risk. 

Our Extractables and Leachables (E&L) training services provide you with a thorough understanding of the supply chain for materials and enable you to evaluate any potential risk to your products when dealing with vendor imposed material changes.
