Whitehouse Laboratories is excited to announce that two key Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT) staff members, Brandon Zurawlow and Justine Young, will be participating as speakers at the PDA Europe Parenteral Conference being held in Frankfurt, Germany on March 3rd and 4th. The conference aims to foster discussion on current trends in parenteral packaging, with a section dedicated to CCIT, as outlined in the the proposed revisions to United States Pharmacopeia General Chapter 1207. Attendees shall engage in dialogue regarding current regulatory requirements for CCI and the most effective approaches to achieving compliance in this critical area. Mr. Zurawlow and Ms. Young will be presenting on optimal test method development and validation processes as they apply various CCI technologies, and will also participate in accompanying panel discussion.

“We are extremely excited for this very special invitation for Brandon and Justine,” commented Mark Stier, Chief Operations Officer for Whitehouse Laboratories. “They are on the front lines with our clients when it comes to the development of leak testing programs that meet the strict regulatory requirements expected of industry and I am confident that attendees will walk away with a much improved knowledge base after spending time learning from them.”

Over the past years, the Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) of Europe has supported numerous educational programs centered on parenterals and parenteral packaging, with CCIT being of heightened importance in recent years. This focus is reflected in the upcoming conference, which will examine advances in parenteral packaging and regulatory expectations. A full session will be dedicated to current container closure integrity test methods and philosophies detailed in the recently proposed revision to USP 1207 Sterile Product – Package integrity evaluation. The session will span CCIT (leak testing) critical for ensuring integrity of primary packages, delivery devices and bulk product packaging. Application of the information presented will help ensure the development of packages well-suited for product protection and, the ability to meet strict regulatory demands for package integrity assurance, resulting in a lowered risk of manufactured product integrity failures.
