Elemental impurities analysis is of great importance within the pharmaceutical realm due to impurities’ potential impact on quality, safety and efficacy. These impurities can include catalysts and environmental contaminants that may be present in drug substances, excipients or drug product.

During this webinar, an alternative approach for the control of elemental impurities, using microwave/UPLC/UV-VIS will be discussed. This is a powerful, advantageous and fast solution for heavy metals determination, with improvements over traditional methods in terms of time and cost savings. 

António Ramos, Analytical Development Group Leader, Hovione; and Lúcia Sousa, PhD Student/Analytical Chemist, Hovione, will discuss the following key points:

  • Why elemental impurities need to be controlled throughout the chemical process
  • What needs to be tested during the method development process
  • What you should consider in your experimental design: qualitative factors vs quantitative factors
  • How to minimize time and costs associated with elemental impurity analysis
