Rethinking Cleaning Validation Of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Equipment

Regulators are increasingly expecting to see a risk-based approach to cleaning validation, and manufacturers are continuously looking for ways to respond to these expectations in efficient and effective ways.

Rethinking Cleaning Validation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Equipment Seminar

Tuesday, May 9th – 11 am – 5 pm

North Carolina Biotechnology Center Dogwood Room
15 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC

In this free seminar, we will focus on bringing together the main pillars of an effective cleaning validation program: cleaning cycle, cleaning chemistry, test limits, equipment grouping, periodic monitoring and look into the future of what cleaning validation could look like.

Attendees will also put their learnings from the seminar towards solving a real-world, interactive situation and apply the discussed principles to improve the efficiency of the validation process.

RECOMMENDED FOR:

Pharma/biopharma QA/QC, validation specialists, process engineers, and functions in manufacturing operations.
