Pharmaceutical Water Testing

Pharmaceutical Water Testing

Water plays a major role in the manufacturing, processing and formulation of pharmaceutical products, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates, compendial articles and analytical reagents. It is used in a variety of ways, including as a raw material, ingredient and solvent in such processes. As such, water must meet appropriate specifications for intended uses to ensure protection and production quality control. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that water used in production processes meet regulatory and pharmacopeial specifications.

USP water testing and purified water standards are required for evaluating water quality and suitability for pharmaceutical manufacturing applications. It is critical that pharmaceutical manufacturers choose the appropriate water type and testing methods for intended product applications. Choosing an inappropriate water type could result in inflated production cost or losses due to remediation-related production delays. Moreover, water systems should be regularly sterilized, assessed and validated to prevent downstream contamination.

For best results, qualified analytical experts, like those at CPT Labs, should be called upon to assess both water and water system quality.
