CS Analytical Laboratory is set to host a free educational webinar focused on the qualification testing of medical-grade gases in the pharmaceutical development process. Scheduled for September 24, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST, the session aims to clarify the requirements established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopeia (EP) regarding gas testing.
This initiative, in partnership with Gas Testing Analytical, reflects CS Analytical’s commitment to supporting regulated industries in navigating complex compliance demands. The webinar, titled “Audit Ready Gas Testing – Navigating USP, EP and FDA Requirements,” will feature Chad Felter, General Manager of Gas Testing Analytical, who brings over 15 years of experience in gas sampling and regulated laboratory operations.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A session during the last 10 minutes of the hour-long presentation. Felter emphasized the importance of understanding gas qualification, stating, “Qualification of gases used in the development and manufacturing process is an area that is often overlooked or misunderstood.” His goal is to equip attendees with the knowledge needed to confidently address their gas testing requirements.
The integrity of process gases is vital in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device sectors, as it directly impacts product safety, efficacy, and adherence to regulatory standards. Gas testing and ongoing monitoring play crucial roles in maintaining manufacturing integrity and ensuring compliance with global regulations. Throughout the production cycle, from synthesis to packaging, process gases are essential utilities requiring thorough validation and monitoring.
Importance of Gas Testing in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
A comprehensive validation program that includes monitoring of process gases, water systems, compressed air, and ambient air is essential for maintaining compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). Attendees will learn effective strategies for planning and implementing gas testing in line with USP and EP monographed gases within their internal operations.
This webinar is particularly relevant as the pharmaceutical industry continues to face increasing scrutiny over compliance and safety standards. With regulatory landscapes constantly evolving, understanding how to meet these requirements is crucial for success.
