Within this seminar you will hear about:
The current regulatory requirements regarding metal impurities determination in various Pharmacopoeia (USP, EP, IP)
The various possibilities to approach the metal impurity determination
The reference material which Merck offers to help your analysis produce accurate results
Metal analyses have become increasingly important to the pharmaceutical industry in recent years. Pharmaceutical products can pick up metal contaminations such as arsenic, lead, cadmium or mercury from many different places. These metals may be present in the raw materials themselves, or enter during production as a result of syntheses or interactions with equipment.
This seminar gives an overview about the current regulatory requirement for various Pharmacopoeia and the ICH Q3D guidelines. It also explains various approaches to determine metal impurities and introduces the portfolio of the reference materials, Merck offers for the determination of these impurities.
