PURELAB® Quest

Water is essential to the pharmaceutical industry. The quality of the water must be controlled throughout the production, storage and distribution processes, particularly for microbiological and chemical contaminants.

One of the most common techniques used in pharmaceutical production to verify drug purity is high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Due to the detailed analysis HPLC can generate, purified water is crucial for obtaining clear HPLC data. Explore how important purified water is in HPLC analysis, and discover how to avoid errors such as ghost peaks from dissolved compounds or blockages from microorganisms.

In this application note, ELGA Labwater discusses the role of high-purity water in genetic and genomics research. Ultrapure water is a critical reagent that plays a pivotal role in a wide range of molecular biology applications, including DNA sequencing, transcriptomic, and epigenomic studies. Using high-quality reagents, such as ultrapure water, is necessary to ensure the reliability and integrity of research outcomes. However, many challenges associated with accessing high-purity water exist, including the origin of the water used and the grade of the water. Many institutes are benefiting from water purification systems such as the ELGA PURELAB® Quest, which provides a reliable supply of water types 1, 2, and 3 by combining various purification techniques.

In this application note, ELGA LabWater presents an overview of the key considerations when establishing a biosafety laboratory. The focus is on designing, constructing, and utilizing these laboratories at various biosafety levels. Whether starting from scratch or upgrading an existing lab, this application note outlines important criteria to ensure biosafety. Additionally, it assists in understanding the broader needs involved in lab design and usage, such as securing a safe water supply and managing contamination and waste. The five essential steps discussed include: correctly assessing biosafety risks, recognizing laboratory biosafety as more than just building requirements, determining required facilities across different biosafety levels (BSL-1 to BSL-4), ensuring appropriate water supply, and implementing standardized staff training and protocols.

Understanding the principles of biosafety is key to minimizing the chance of laboratory-associated infections and contamination of the environment. Discover which risk assessments you might be expected to conduct ahead of any given project, either in setting up, upgrading or running a biosafe lab. Plus, examine the safety aspects of a selection of disease organisms, and explore best laboratory practices at different biosafety levels.

FDA 483s are forms completed by FDA inspectors alerting companies of areas to improve, or correct, to remain compliant. This white paper explains the importance of FDA 483s in the regulation of pharmaceutical companies and FDA-regulated products.

What are the consequences of non-compliance in drug production and QC, and how must a company respond to a 483 or the need for a product recall? In this white paper, explore some recent and ongoing cases where 483s and product recalls have been issued. Plus, learn about the importance of monitoring and maintaining the correct level of water purity across pharmaceutical processes.

Pure water is a fundamental reagent used in most laboratory experiments and assays. If you are an academic, pharmaceutical, formulation, or drug discovery scientist and you are having data quality or contamination issues, then your lab water supply could be your problem. Sadly, most researchers don’t consider their water choice until it is too late!
