Join leading experts and local stakeholders at China’s first two-day conference dedicated solely to extractables and leachables

Smithers Rapra, a world leader in extractables and leachables testing, are extending their hugely popular E&L conference series into China later this year, with the inaugural event taking place in Beijing on 11-12 September 2018.

Following on from the huge success of the E&L Europe and E&L USA editions, E&L China will bring together local stakeholders and leading global experts for two days of learning, discussion, insight and networking.

With extractables and leachables growing in importance in China, understanding the regulatory landscape and best practices for carrying out E&L studies is extremely important to ensure consumer safety and eliminate risk. That’s why this conference is unmissable for anyone working within this evolving sector. This event will provide attendees with detailed insights into E&L testing; from the basics to best practice, key experts will guide you on the regulations you need to be aware of and how to conduct good quality E&L studies.

A fantastic line-up of speakers from China, the USA and Europe, just some of the presentations you can expect to hear include:

• An overview of extractables and leachables in China due to an escalating stringency in regulatory requirements – Lynn Yao, Scientific Affairs Manager at West Pharmaceutical Packaging (China)
• USP strategy for pharmaceutical materials used in packaging, medical devices and manufacturing systems – Dr. Dennis Jenke, Chief Executive Scientist at Triad Scientific Solutions
• Detection and identification of leachables in vaccines from plastic packaging materials using UPLC-QTOF MS with self-built polymer library – Dr. Zhenxia Du, Professor of Analytical Chemistry at Beijing University of Chemical Technology
