Our final blog in the Impurity Identification Series is now available! Impurity investigations don’t always start in the same lab and when data comes from a drug product manufacturer or another CRO, analytical challenges can quickly arise. Differences in methods, instrumentation, and reference libraries often require more than a simple handoff to reach confident identification. In the final installment of our blog series, Laurens Vandevenne, Scientific Expert at Nelson Labs, walks through how our Structure Elucidation team bridges these gaps by: ▪️Transferring external GC/MS methods into Nelson Labs’ in-house platforms ▪️Reproducing impurity detection under controlled conditions ▪️Applying comprehensive databases and multi-technique analysis to support accurate compound identification These real-world examples highlight why flexible method transfer, advanced instrumentation, and expert interpretation are critical to achieving reliable impurity characterization, even when starting from external data.

The latest ISO 10993-1 revision reshapes how regulators expect medical device teams to approach biological evaluation. What changed? Testing alone isn’t enough. You need to show evidence, document risks, and defend your strategy with science that regulators can trust. These updates are an opportunity for prepared teams to avoid unnecessary studies, save costs, and accelerate submissions—while those who overlook the changes risk delays. Our experts at Nelson Labs help manufacturers navigate these shifts with confidence. Build a stronger biocompatibility strategy: https://lnkd.in/g9G6z9nd #ISO10993 #MedDevice #Biocomp

Our latest Impurity Identification blog explores a case where a medical device showed visible “blooming” — tiny surface crystals that raised questions about safety and composition. Using a targeted LC–MS screening supported by our proprietary database, Nelson Labs quickly identified the material as Bisphenol A, crystallized due to exceeding its solubility limit in the polymer. This case from Nelson Labs Expert Peter Verleyen highlights how rapid screening and expert analysis help uncover root causes efficiently, even when the issue first appears on the surface.

Attendees can expect to learn about the following: • How RapidCert™ BI testing complies with expectations for an alternative method • Key benefits of RapidCert™ BI testing vs. the compendial method • Regulatory approach for implementing RapidCert™ BI testing Presenters: • Nina Moreno, Nelson Labs • Jordan Elder, RCA Reserve your spot before the session begins: https://lnkd.in/gA-yV-CF #SterilityAssurance #BiologicalIndicators #MedicalDeviceManufacturing #RegulatoryCompliance

In this latest installment of our Impurity Identification series, Nelson Labs Scientific Expert Ward D’Autry investigates a case of unexpected yellow discoloration in a drug stored in polyethylene bottles, a problem that didn’t occur when stored in glass. Standard GC/MS and LC/MS screenings failed to identify the unknown compound. But through an advanced similarity search in Nelson Labs’ in-house and NIST23 databases, a new suspect emerged. Discover which reactive compound was unmasked as the culprit and what it reveals about the delicate balance between packaging materials, stability, and product safety.

Designing reusable medical devices requires more than functionality, it demands a deep understanding of how cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization impact performance and patient safety. In this session, Griffin Cammack, Reprocessing Expert at Nelson Labs, explores key considerations for integrating reprocessing into the design phase. Learn how early collaboration between design, testing, and validation teams can reduce costly redesigns and improve device longevity and safety outcomes.
