Particle Counting in Injectable Solutions

Overview:

This paper, by Particle Measuring Systems, in its third revision, discusses the requirements laid out by US (USP), European (EP), and Japanese (JP) Pharmacopoeia standards and includes the most recent USP 788 (April 2007), EP 5.1 and JP 15 release information. These standards demand that injectable solutions are effectively monitored for microcontamination, specifically non-soluble particulates.
