Packaging interaction testing is a critical component of pharmaceutical quality control. It ensures that packaging materials do not interact adversely with drug products, thereby maintaining product integrity and stability throughout the supply chain. This service is essential for ensuring compliance with regulatory standards such as ISO 10993-18 and ASTM D471. Packaging materials in contact with pharmaceutical products can influence the product's stability, shelf life, and safety. Therefore, this testing service is vital for protecting patient health and ensuring regulatory compliance.
The primary objective of packaging interaction testing is to identify any potential adverse effects that could occur between the drug substance or formulation and its packaging material. This includes evaluating physical, chemical, and biological interactions. The test parameters include but are not limited to moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR), oxygen permeability, temperature stability, and compatibility with various excipients.
During this service, we employ advanced analytical instruments such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for detecting trace impurities in the packaging material. Additionally, ISO 17894 is used to assess the compatibility of packaging materials with pharmaceutical products. The test specimens undergo rigorous preparation procedures, which include conditioning under controlled environmental conditions and soaking in relevant solvents.
The results from this testing service are critical for making informed decisions regarding the selection of appropriate packaging materials that meet all regulatory requirements. This ensures that the drug product is protected during storage and transportation, thereby maintaining its efficacy and safety until it reaches the patient.
