Testing the migration of packaging materials in direct contact with sensitive pharmaceutical ingredients

The Crucial Role of Testing Migration in Packaging Materials Protecting Your Pharmaceutical Ingredients

In the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring the quality and safety of products is paramount. One critical aspect that often goes unnoticed is the potential interaction between packaging materials and sensitive ingredients. This phenomenon, known as migration, can have far-reaching consequences if not properly assessed. At Eurolab, our laboratory service provides an essential solution to this problem Testing the migration of packaging materials in direct contact with sensitive pharmaceutical ingredients.

What is Migration Testing?

Migration testing involves evaluating the potential transfer of substances from packaging materials into pharmaceutical products. This includes assessing the migration of chemicals, dyes, or other additives present in packaging materials that may come into direct contact with the product. Such interactions can lead to contamination, degradation, or even adulteration of the pharmaceutical ingredients.

Why is Migration Testing Essential for Businesses?
