Extractables and leachables: definitions, differences & facts

Extractables and leachables are contaminants that are causing biopharmaceutical manufacturers headaches, as they can lead to impurities of highly valuable drug products. While extractables and leachables both describe foreign matter that can lead to contamination of highly valuable drug products, it is important to understand their characterization but also the difference between the two.

Storage Density in Biopharma Manufacturing Facilities

Single-use bags with its flat shape is predestined for stacking and offer great solutions to increase storage density on-site but also for shipment. The combination of both, single use bag and RoSS® shells (Robust Storage and Shipping) makes them a cost-effective solution, as they require little storage space. RoSS® shells are available for all sizes and suppliers of single-use bags.
