Injectable Extractable and Leachable Services Announced by Next Breath

Baltimore, Maryland: – Next Breath, a division of AptarGroup, Inc., is pleased to announce the extension of their cGMP
analytical services to include development services for injectable delivery systems, with a core focus on
extractables and leachables (E&L). Next Breath will be highlighting their new services at the upcoming
drug delivery and packaging conference, Pharmapack, held on February 7-8, 2018 in Paris, France.

For over 16 years, Next Breath has offered a wide array of dedicated analytical services for inhalation
and nasal drug development while providing support for global regulatory strategy. This recent addition
of services for injectable delivery comes as a natural extension for the company to support their growing
portfolio of global customers looking for guidance to help them navigate through the increasing quality
expectations for component qualification, validation and regulatory compliance.

As part of these services, Next Breath works with customers to define the characteristics of elastomeric
components that are best suited for their drug product, assess functionality for the intended use,
examine extractables and leachables, and determine physical and chemical compatibility. This
systematic approach makes Next Breath services ideal for identifying potential leachables and meeting
regulatory expectations.

“Next Breath is excited to marry our analytical chemistry capabilities and delivery systems expertise to
service the injectable market ” said Julie Suman, R.Ph., Ph.D., President of Next Breath. “We are in a
unique position to support our clients’ requirements from an extractables profile to toxicological
assessment in this evolving regulatory market.”

only facilitate component selection but also accelerate regulatory approval,” said Bas van Buijtenen
President, Injectables Division, Aptar Pharma.
