USP <787>: Application and Scope
- Specifically for protein-based therapeutics (not all forms of injectables)
- Analysis of final dose and packaging
- Smaller test product volumes
- Smaller test aliquots
- Defines “inherent” form of particulate matter
- Describes prep and test methods
- Defines maximum particle burden limits
Although USP <787> focuses exclusively on protein-based formulations, there are a number of similarities between USP <787> and USP <788> (Particulate Matter in Injections) including:
- Primary method: Light Obscuration1
- Secondary method: Light Microscopy
- Minimum number of aliquots = 4
- Particle size thresholds ≥ 10 & ≥ 25 µm
- Particle limits:
- SVI: 6,000 & 600 per container
- LVI (>100 mL): 25 & 3 per mL*
*Larger test volumes must also pass a container test. No more than 6,000 counts at 10 microns and no more than 600 counts at 25 microns.
1 Should the primary method not be applicable (e.g., preparations with reduced clarity or increased viscosity), microscopic particle testing should be carried out.
