Standard Practice for Extraction of Particulate Matter from the Surfaces of Single-Use Components and Assemblies Designed for Use in Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing
1.1 This practice describes the requirements for development, qualification, and routine application of a procedure for the effective liquid extraction of particulate matter from the surfaces of single-use components and assemblies designed for use in biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes. The extraction generates a suspension of particulate matter in liquid which makes the particulate matter readily available for analytical characterization.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
