In this free webinar, learn how to apply headspace container closure integrity testing (CCIT) methods for all types of sterile pharmaceutical products and replace the traditional probabilistic microbial ingress and blue dye ingress methods. Attendees will learn how to design packaging development studies that enable CCI assurance. The featured speaker will discuss how to design and execute qualification studies including production line qualification studies with respect to container closure integrity (CCI) in a holistic science-based approach, and more.
TORONTO, July 10, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A pioneering webinar focusing on container closure integrity (CCI) in pharmaceutical products is set to take place. This highly informative session will delve into the critical role of headspace gas ingress methods in maintaining product stability and safety.
The webinar is titled "Headspace Gas Ingress Methods: The Golden Tool for Container Closure Integrity Testing" and will be presented by Dr. Derek Duncan, PhD, Director at Lighthouse Instruments. Dr. Duncan's extensive experience in the field includes applications for process monitoring and finished product inspection, notably using headspace analysis for 100 percent container closure integrity testing.
Over the years, the context of container closure integrity has broadened. It is not only linked to maintaining sterility but also to preserving critical headspace gas conditions. This is particularly relevant for certain sterile pharmaceutical products, including mRNA and live vaccines, gene therapies and products with active cells. These require ultracold storage or cryogenic temperatures to maintain stability and/or activity. Studies have indicated that ultracold storage temperatures can pose risks to traditional pharmaceutical primary packaging systems, specifically the CCI of vial-rubber stopper combinations and pre-filled syringe systems traditionally used to fill sterile pharmaceutical products.
The webinar will explore traditional container closure integrity testing (CCIT) methods and the emerging use of laser-based headspace analysis, a deterministic method that is being regularly implemented as the 'golden tool' for generating robust science-based CCIT data for all types of sterile pharmaceutical products.
LIGHTHOUSE, a leading innovator in process monitoring and finished product inspection, is known for its cutting-edge applications including headspace analysis for container closure integrity testing. The company has joined forces with Xtalks to present this insightful webinar, sharing its expertise with the wider industry.
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, July 25, 2023, and tune in at 10am EDT (4pm CEST/EU-Central) for this free webinar on container closure integrity testing methods.
