Webinar ‘Risk assessment for a nitrosamine contamination of peptide APIs manufactured by SPPS’
Webinar ‘Risk assessment for a nitrosamine contamination of peptide APIs manufactured by SPPS’
about the Event
Bachem assesses both our solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and liquid phase peptide synthesis (LPPS) processes regarding their potential of introducing nitrosamines.
This webinar will focus on our approach to execute the risk assessment for peptides produced by SPPS. We will explain the general risk factors and present their assessment for Bachem’s SPPS-related raw materials and processes.
