Smithers E&L conference is the premier gathering of expertise in this field, I plan on attending every year - DABT Chemistry & Materials Scientist, Nelson Labs
Extractables and Leachables China is the first conference of its kind. Following on from the hugely successful E&L Europe and USA conferences, Smithers launched a brand new event focusing on extractables and leachables in China. The first event took place in September 2018 in Beijing and the second event took place in September 2019 in Shanghai.
This year Extractables & Leachables China will return to Shanghai, China on 8-10 December 2020 and explore the latest technological advancements, regulatory updates, progress in analysis of new materials for pharmaceutical packaging, new developments in medical & drug device combination products and much more! This event will deliver high level insight into the market and global regulatory landscape, while allowing extensive time for debate and networking.
