ISO 20387 Biobanking Quality Testing for Biologics
The International Standard ISO 20387 provides a framework to ensure that biobanks meet regulatory and operational standards, thereby enhancing the reliability of biologics derived from these biobanks. This service ensures compliance with this standard by rigorously testing various aspects of biologic materials used in pharmaceutical development.
Biological products are complex molecules such as proteins, monoclonal antibodies, or recombinant therapeutic agents that require stringent quality assurance measures to ensure their efficacy and safety during the manufacturing process. The ISO 20387 standard is pivotal for ensuring that these biologics adhere to global standards of quality control.
Our testing service focuses on several key areas: stability evaluation, sterility testing, identity verification, purity assessment, and compatibility checks. Stability assessments are crucial in determining the shelf life of a biologic product under various environmental conditions. Sterility tests ensure that the product is free from microbial contamination which could lead to adverse effects. Identity verification helps confirm the exact molecular structure of the biologic ensuring it matches the intended formulation.
Purity assessment ensures that there are no impurities or contaminants present in the final product, which can significantly impact its safety and efficacy. Compatibility checks ensure that the biologic is stable when combined with other components as required for specific formulations. This comprehensive testing not only meets regulatory requirements but also enhances trust among stakeholders.
The implementation of ISO 20387 ensures that all stages of production from raw material sourcing to final product release are meticulously documented and controlled, providing a robust framework for quality assurance in biobanking practices.
Our team employs state-of-the-art equipment and methodologies aligned with the latest advancements in analytical sciences. We utilize advanced techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), mass spectrometry (MS), capillary electrophoresis, and other cutting-edge technologies to conduct thorough analyses.
The process begins with receiving the biologic sample followed by detailed examination of its physical characteristics including size range, shape, color, etc., before proceeding into more complex chemical analysis. Once all preliminary checks are complete, we move onto specific tests dictated by ISO 20387 guidelines tailored to our client's needs.
Our experts use precise protocols and cutting-edge instrumentation to perform these tests ensuring accuracy and reliability of results. We also provide detailed reports highlighting any deviations from expected parameters along with recommendations for corrective actions if necessary.
Why It Matters
The importance of biobanking cannot be overstated, especially in the context of pharmaceutical development where biologics play an increasingly significant role. Biobanks serve as critical repositories that store biological materials which can be utilized for research purposes or to develop new treatments.
Compliance with ISO 20387 ensures that these biobanks operate efficiently and effectively, maintaining the highest standards of quality control. This standardization leads to greater consistency across different batches of biologics produced by various laboratories around the world, thus facilitating international collaboration in research projects.
By adhering to this internationally recognized standard, pharmaceutical companies can enhance their reputation among regulatory bodies and investors alike. It demonstrates commitment towards maintaining high levels of quality assurance throughout every stage of drug development from initial discovery through clinical trials up until commercialization.
