Leachable and extractable studies are critical analyses conducted to ensure product safety and quality, especially in medical devices, pharmaceuticals, packaging materials, and products that come into contact with food. These studies aim to identify harmful chemical substances that may originate from the product's environment.
Extractables are chemical substances that can be released from a product when it is exposed to a specific solvent or simulated conditions. This study is conducted to understand the potential risks contained within the product and is usually performed under more aggressive conditions.
Leachables are chemical substances that a product can release into the environment under normal usage conditions. This study simulates real-world usage scenarios and is highly important for end-user safety.
Leachable and extractable studies are fundamentally important for ensuring the safe use of products and predicting their long-term effects. At TTS Laboratory Services, we are here to support your analysis needs with our accredited testing capabilities.
