Event Overview:

Impurities, impurity profiling and analytical challenges of detection and quantification of trace level impurities in pharmaceutical products including mutagenic nitrosamine impurities will be presented. Risk assessment of mutagenic impurities and the difficulties in analysis from sample preparation through to detection will be considered. Current technologies used for trace impurity detection and quantification will be discussed and consideration given to new and emerging technologies. Topics include:

• Impurities, potential impurities, and how they occur
• Mutagenic impurities, regulations, and assessment of risk
• Analytical challenges, selecting methods, and importance of sample preparation
• New analytical technology for trace and ultratrace analysis

Key Learning Objectives:

• What are impurities and where do they come from?
• Alleviating the risk of impurity formation by better understanding of the active pharmaceutical ingredients, its source, and manufacturing process
• The different types of technologies available for trace impurity analysis including the potential of vacuum UV

Who Should Attend:

• Analytical and process chemists within the pharmaceutical industry
