Pre-Conference Workshop

Sunday, May 17 | 3:00 - 5:00pm  | Complimentary for E&L US 2026 Attendees
 

Sponsored by SafeBridge, this workshop offers more than just introductions to the topics, but practical case-studies and examples. You will learn how to put together a compelling submittal to regulatory agencies for acceptance

Extractables and Leachables are a complex subject that requires a “team” of analytical chemists, toxicologists and regulatory experts to:

  • Understand the nature of the drug product
  • Test appropriately
  • Conduct a toxicological risk assessment
  • Interpret the data. 

This session will adequately prepare you to tackle these hurdles.
