As a world-leading healthcare provider, Element supports clients with the preparation of extractables and leachables test reports to prove regulatory compliance and provide a solid risk-based set of supportive data.
When performing Extractables and Leachables (E&L) testing it is important that reports are clear, concise and accurate.
Element’s Engaged Experts combine our advanced equipment with in-depth knowledge of materials and regulations to ensure our testing reports are fully interpretative to demonstrate to the regulatory agencies that a proper risk-based approach was applied.
Types of extractables and leachables testing reports
As a complete solution to your testing requirements, Element provides two types of reports for E&L testing programs; Extractables and Leachables Materials Assessment and Extractables and Leachables Testing Report.
