The ISTA Pharma Committee is pleased to release their latest technical paper "ISTA PCG-02 Passive Thermal Packaging System Operational Qualification Best Practice Guideline". The committee's goal was to develop a guideline for the passive thermal packaging operational qualification process that defines the minimum requirements and drives standardization among packaging providers and life science companies alike.
Check out our Q&A here, and background on their USP Stimuli Article.
The new guideline is a result of a collaborative effort between life science companies and solution suppliers tasked with developing a set of mutually beneficial and harmonized requirements.
