Intrinsic particles, including excipients,silicone oil, and other particles from the process, container/closures, equipment or delivery devices, and extrinsic particleswhich originate from sources outside of the contained process,may also be present.

4、Monitoring and identifying the source ofthe subvisible particles throughout the product life cycle (frominitial characterization and formulation through finished prod-uct expiry) can optimize product development, process design,improve process control, improve the manufacturing process,and ensure lo

5、t-to-lot consistency.1.2 Understanding the nature of particles and their source isa key to the ability to take actions to adjust the manufacturingprocess to ensure final product quality. Dynamic imagingmicroscopy is a useful technique for particle analysis andcharacterization (proteinaceous and othe

6、r types) during productdevelopment, in-process and commercial release with a sensi-tive detection and characterization of subvisible particles at 2and 100 micrometers (although smaller and larger particlesmay also be reported if data are available). In this techniquebrightfield illumination is used

7、to capture images either directlyin a process stream, or as a continuous sample stream passesthrough a flow cell positioned in the field of view of an imagingsystem. An algorithm performs a particle detection routine.This process is a key step during dynamic imaging. The digitalparticle images in th

8、e sample are processed by image morphol-ogy analysis software that quantifies the particles in size, count,and other morphological parameters. Dynamic imaging par-ticle analyzers can produce direct determinations of the particlecount per unit volume (that is, particle concentration), as afunction of

9、 particle size by dividing the particle count by thevolume of imaged fluid (see Appendix X1).1.3 This guide will describe best practices and consider-ations in applying dynamic imaging to identification of poten-tial sources and causes of particles during biomanufacturing.These results can be used t

This guide will also address the fundamentalprinciples of dynamic imaging analysis including image analy-sis methods, sample preparation, instrument calibration andverification and data reportin

Types of Particles5.1 USP defines three subcategories of particlesrelated to their source or nature. When comb

35、ined with appro-priate strategies for characterizing particle types, this catego-rization scheme provides a framework for assessing the rootcause and acceptable concentrations of different types ofparticles.5.1.1 Inherent particles are related to the product formula-tion (for example, chemical and p

36、hysical properties and con-centration of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)proteins, excipients, API solid suspensions, emulsions, adju-vant aluminum salts added to vaccines). Packaging of theproduct and external stresses (including temperature, mechani-cal shock or movement, light exposure,

37、 and interaction withliquid/solid and liquid/air interfaces) can all have substantialimpact on the concentration and characteristics of proteinaggregates. Protein aggregates may change over time, in bothconcentration and characteristics, and some levels of proteindegradation or related aggregation,

38、or both, may be expected.Inherent particles must be well characterized and monitoredover the product shelf-life.5.1.2 Intrinsic particles include product contact materialsfrom the manufacturing process or primary packaging compo-nents (that is, silicone oil, glass, stainless steel, rubber closure,po

39、lymer tubing, semi-solid silicone lubricant, process relatedfibers, etc.). This category also includes stability-indicatingparticles found predominantly during development or stabilitystudies (formulation degradation, container closure-related,glass delamination, stopper degradation, etc.). The pres

40、ence ofintrinsic particle types must be minimized, and if they arestability-indicating, they should be eliminated whenever pos-sible.5.1.3 Extrinsic particles comprise any particles not sourcedfrom the manufacturing process or product contact materialsincluding particles of a biological source (that

41、 is, externalenvironmental fibers, hair, airborne particles, etc.). Extrinsicparticle types should be a rare occurrence and eliminated.6. Sources of Particles6.1 Subvisible particles may be generated by a number ofsources during the manufacturing process. In analyzing the riskof particle generation

42、introduced by various process steps, it isuseful to understand the sensitivity of the drug product orsubstance to a variety of stresses known to promote particleformation.6.2 Sources of Inherent Particles:6.2.1 Stresses which may cause inherent particle changesmay include:6.2.1.1 Interaction with in

43、terfaces or other particles.(1) Increased interfacial transport resulting from agitation,stirring, etc.(2) Interfacial adsorption: both liquid/vapor and liquid/solid(3) Nucleation on other particles(4) Trace metals and other molecules promoting oxidationand aggregation6.2.1.2 Chemical environment.(1

44、) Formulation, which may promote or hinder particlegeneration(2) Excipients(3) Impurities6.2.1.3 Physical environment.(1) Vibration(2) Mechanical shock(3) Cavitation(4) Temperature and humidity(5) Environmentcontamination(6) Intense light exposure6.2.2 The count and characteristics of the particles

45、formedas a result of these stresses will vary in general with theduration of the stress and subsequent storage time and condi-tions.6.3 Sources of Intrinsic Particles:6.3.1 Intrinsic particles may be formed when materials incontact with drug substance or product are stressed, such as theshedding of

46、particles by pumps used in fill and finish opera-tions. In other cases, the stresses may be minimal, but thematerials are not verified to be sufficiently particle free; anexample would be the shedding of particles from a filter. Aswith inherent particles, the creation of particles depends bothon the

47、 duration of particular stresses and the time of storage.6.4 Combinations of particular stresses may arise in differ-ent process steps during manufacturing operations, including:6.4.1 Formulation,6.4.2 Sterilization,6.4.3 Storage: conditions, time of storage, and choice ofcontainer,6.4.4 Transport,6

48、.4.5 pH adjustments,6.4.6 Viral Inactivation Steps,6.4.7 UF/DF,6.4.8 Container or closure siliconization, which may pro-mote aggregation of proteins,6.4.9 Freeze-thaw,6.4.10 Mixing, and6.4.11 Fill/Finish.6.5 Components in the manufacturing process may contrib-ute particles directly (for example, pol

49、ymer particles shed by asingle use system component or other flexible systemcomponents), or may contribute to increased particle loadindirectly (for example, protein adsorption and subsequentdesorption as a particle from a hydrophobic polymer surface).The use of components and filters requires the development ofcompatibility profiles with the product and solutions to assureleachable substances are not a concern as discussed in USPand USP .
