ISO 10993 Biocompatibility Testing for Biologics Packaging
The ISO 10993 series of standards provides a framework for assessing biocompatibility, which is crucial in the pharmaceutical sector. This service focuses on ensuring that packaging materials used with biologics are safe and do not interfere with product integrity or efficacy. The ISO 10993-16 standard specifically addresses the evaluation of the biological compatibility of medical devices, including those used in biologics packaging.
Biologics are complex therapeutic proteins that need to be protected from contamination during manufacturing and storage. Packaging materials must not only protect against physical damage but also ensure that they do not leach chemicals or other contaminants into the biologic substance. This service ensures that the packaging complies with stringent safety protocols, thereby protecting end-users' health.
The testing process involves several stages designed to evaluate potential adverse effects on human subjects due to contact with the packaging material. These stages include:
- Extractables and Leachables Testing: Identifying substances that may be transferred from the packaging to the biologic.
- In Vivo Studies: Conducting animal tests to observe any adverse biological effects.
- In Vitro Tests: Performing laboratory experiments to assess potential interactions with cellular or tissue components.
- Microbial Barrier Testing: Ensuring that the packaging protects against microbial contamination.
- Chemical Compatibility Studies: Assessing compatibility of the packaging material with various biologic solutions used during manufacturing and storage.
The testing process is highly technical, involving precise sample preparation and sophisticated instrumentation. Each stage requires a deep understanding of both the biologic substance and the packaging material to ensure accurate results. Our laboratory adheres strictly to international standards and guidelines, ensuring that every test is conducted under controlled conditions that reflect real-world scenarios.
The significance of this testing cannot be overstated. Inadequate packaging can lead to product contamination, reduced efficacy, or even harmful side effects for patients.
