Pharmaceutical and bio-pharmaceutical manufacturers that perform manual, automated, or CIP cleaning of their production equipment are required to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements for effective removal of residues. Still many of these companies use historical limits and complex test methods for cleaning validation.

Testing rinse water or swab samples is a common technique in bio-pharmaceutical manufacturing to ensure the cleaning process removes residues to a safe limit. The quality of these is mandated by global regulatory bodies to define limits based on toxicological evaluations and specified testing requirements.

This webinar is designed to help companies understand that cleaning should be addressed as an ongo­ing process, including continuous monitoring to ensure removal of all product and cleaning residues and removal of any potential contaminants. Testing for Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and conductivity in the laboratory, at-line, or online can be acceptable methods to achieve compliance with the current guidelines and enhance the turnaround time of production equipment.
