Leading Validation Services
Alfa Chemistry provides you with various validation services, including but not limited to the following:
- Microbiology Services
Our testing experts specialize in sterile filtration, mycoplasma removal and virus removal. The fully equipped laboratory uses bioburden-specific organisms or standard challenge organisms to conduct microbiological challenge research on customer products under the worst processing conditions.
- Compatibility Screening
A rigorous analysis of the potential interaction between the filter assembly and the medicine is carried out to ensure that the filter will not adversely affect the medicine.
- Product-based Integrity Testing
The integrity test value is determined by testing the actual product; the test value is based on the customer's preferred test method, including bubble point, diffusion or pressure retention, and is carefully established and recorded.
- Filter Quality Certification Program
All medical filters are accompanied by a quality certificate with published data.
- Microbial Retention Research
Alfa Chemistry usually conducts filter retention studies on pharmaceutical products under extended processing conditions. This includes protocol development, viability and inhibition testing, and the use of standards to challenge microorganisms or bioburden specific organisms.
- Extractables Testing
The model solvent was subjected to gravimetric non-volatile residue (NVR) determination; the extract was subjected to additional GC-MS analysis.
- Additional Documents
Alfa Chemistry can provide information on structural materials, performance data, sterilization protocols, and integrity test values according to customer requirements.
- Filter Process Reviews
Alfa Chemistry staff can visit customers on site to conduct technical reviews, record and analyze system performance, and help ensure compliance.
