Cleaning validation/verification is an FDA requirement. Inadequate or incomplete cleaning validation is one of the leading causes of internal investigations and regulatory citings. Current technologies keep production equipment off line as they are either too slow, not specific, inconvenient, or not sensitive enough.
This webinar introduces ion mobility spectroscopy (IMS) as a GMP-compliant alternative to legacy methods for at-line cleaning verification, such as TOC swab analysis and HPLC. There has been a lot of talk about the use of hand-held devices for at-line analyses, however, these are not suitable for a GMP environment. Legacy techniques are associated with long instrument downtime, and lack of efficiency. IMS addresses all of these shortcomings and more.
