Extractables & Leachables

GMP-certified extractables and leachables analysis in accordance with relevant pharmacopoeia and in combination with other CMC assays.

Kymos Group provides GMP-certified extractables & leachables testing services in accordance with relevant pharmacopoeia and in combination with other CMC assays. 

These extractables & leachables tests target pharmaceutical manufacturers in need of determining the profile of extractables and leachables in pharmaceutical packaging system components that are in contact with the formulation during storage and/or use in order to ensure product quality and patient safety. 

We take advantage of our state-of-the-art pool of instruments and analytical know-how to follow a case-by-case approach for each manufacturing setup and determine the most adequate safety thresholds, extraction and analysis techniques.

Analytical Techniques for Extractables & Leachables

We have developed the following methodology to analyze extraction solutions by LC/MS, GC/MS, LC/UV:

  • Semi-quantitative screening for both volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds:

    • Use of GC/MS instrumentation with direct injection sample introduction and electron impact ionization
    • Use of GC/MS instrumentation with headspace sample introduction and electron impact ionization
    • For extractables compounds detected by GC/MS analysis, we utilize NIST2011 database to assist in identification

  • Semi-quantitative screening for non-volatile organic compounds:

    • Analysis using LC/HRMS Orbitrap detector, HPLC/UPLC MS (electrospray and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization) and LC/UV-vis
    • Specific compound workflow identification by means of LC-HRMS analysis and Compound Discoverer software
