RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Moving Forward towards Standardized Analytical Methods for Extractables and Leachables Profiling Studies JF PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology JO PDA J Pharm Sci Technol FD Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) SP 471 OP 476 DO 10.5731/pdajpst.2015.01089 VO 69 IS 4 A1 Dennis Jenke YR 2015 UL http://journal.pda.org/content/69/4/471.abstract AB This commentary considers the standardization of analytical methods used in extractables and leachables screening and proposes that method standardization is not the end goal but rather the necessary first step for enabling efficient, effective, robust, and consistent extractables and leachables profiling. Standardized methods are the platform upon which a knowledge set and a knowledge management process can be built, and it is the combination of the methods, the set, and the process that facilitates extractables and leachables profiling.
