As extractables and leachables studies become increasingly important across pharmaceutical and medical device development, keeping pace with evolving regulatory expectations is essential. Increased scrutiny from authorities including the FDA and MHRA means organisations need robust E&L strategies to minimise risk, support compliance and avoid costly delays.
