Considerations for Cleaning Lipid Nanoparticles
This article explores the concerns with cleaning pharmaceutical products utilizing LNP delivery vehicles and provides a general cleaning recommendation based on laboratory and field testing.
Evaluating Surface Cleanliness Using a Risk-Based Approach
Rinse sample analysis or visual inspection are risk-based approaches that can be correlated to surface cleanliness to replace surface sampling in a biopharmaceutical equipment cleaning process.
Preventive and Corrective Maintenance for Rouge in Stainless-Steel Equipment
Process conditions can corrode stainless-steel surfaces, necessitating corrective and preventive maintenance.
A Risk-Based Approach to Stainless Steel Equipment Maintenance
Laboratory tests can determine critical cleaning parameters for passivation treatments used to prevent rouge on GMP stainless-steel equipment.
Cleaning Validation in Continuous Manufacturing
A lifecycle approach can be used to develop GMP-compliant cleaning procedures for continuous manufacturing of solid-dosage pharmaceuticals.
