SGS opens new dedicated facility for extractables and leachables testing in Wiesbaden, Germany

The new facility will be the global Center of Excellence for Extractable Studies and Impurities Profiling, as a hub across the global network of laboratories.

The 500 m2. facility accommodates increased number of scientists. Equipment and instruments that have been both transferred from Taunusstein, and newly acquired, have been qualified and validated in the new laboratory. Ongoing projects being undertaken for clients have been successfully transferred to Wiesbaden, and the space vacated at Taunusstein creates an opportunity for SGS to expand its quality control release testing capabilities at that facility.

“This investment in both a new facility and advanced analytical technologies is in response to increased awareness of regulatory requirements globally and growing customer demand,” commented Dr Sheida Hoenlinger, Director, Life Sciences Germany. “SGS has a very strong reputation within the industry for extractables and leachables testing, and this step, to build a dedicated facility, allows us to offer our clients greater opportunities to identify the unknowns through more sensitive and accurate impurity profiling techniques.”
