Technically Unavoidable Particles
Manage Raw Material Risks and Ensure Compliance
Technically Unavoidable Particles (TUP) are inherent to many raw materials used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requires that the impact of these particles on product safety be thoroughly evaluated to maintain quality standards. SAXOCON utilizes the framework defined in ICH Q9 and the 2024 IPEC Technically Unavoidable Particle Profile (TUPP) Guide to provide a scientifically robust assessment of these impurities.
A predefined Service Level Agreement (SLA) with SAXOCON ensures a fast-track process to evaluate TUP impact without disrupting your supply chain:
- Accelerated Assessment: Optimally stacked activities ensure a 2–3 week turnaround from discovery to a finalized toxicological risk assessment.
- Root-Cause Identification: Specialized laboratory capabilities to quickly identify the source, composition, and nature of particles.
- Proactive Risk Mitigation: Expert advice on sampling strategies and process adjustments to manage TUP levels.
- Toxicological Evaluation: Comprehensive risk assessments to determine the safety profile of particles in the context of the finished drug product.
