Metal impurities in drug substances

 

Currently, the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Q3A guidelines classifies impurities into three main areas: organic, inorganic and residual solvents.  With a new guideline, USP outlines procedures and detection techniques for improved sensitivity and selectivity of element impurities as well as new advice on sample preparation and validation of analytical methods. 

Syntagon Case Studies
Syntagon has gained a huge amount of experience in measuring, monitoring and, if needed, reducing a wide variety of metal impurities during the course of many GMP syntheses.  By continually monitoring changes in the regulations, Syntagon ensures specifications are met and regulatory compliance is guaranteed. 

Syntagon welcomes the introduction of the new ICH Q3A guidelines, which will cover the acceptable limits of elemental impurities and the procedures by which they will be measured.
