10. Chapter 6: Particulate Matter
This chapter is intended to supplement the methodology procedures found in the USP <788> PARTICULATE MATTER IN INJECTIONS and USP <789> PARTICULATE MATTER IN OPHTHALMIC SOLUTIONS. In addition, USP <1788> DETERMINATION OF PARTICULATE MATTER provides useful guidance for these assays. Where appropriate the laboratory wide procedure, ORA-LAB.019 “HIAC 9703+ Liquid Particle Analyzer” is referenced to address specific requirements for the use of the HIAC instrument. Particulate matter consists of mobile, randomly-sourced extraneous substances, other than gas bubbles, that cannot be quantitated by chemical analysis due to the small amount of material that it represents and heterogeneous composition. Injectable solutions, including solutions constituted from sterile solids intended for parenteral use, are essentially free from particulate matter observable on visual inspection. The tests described herein are physical tests performed for the purpose of enumerating sub-visible extraneous particles within specific size ranges.

All large-volume injections for single-dose infusion and those small-volume injections for which the monographs or product specifications specify such requirements are subject to the particulate matter limits set forth for the test being applied, unless otherwise specified in the individual monograph or product specification. Not all injection formulations can be examined for particles using the light obscuration method. Any product that is not a pure solution having clarity and viscosity approximating those of water may provide erroneous data when analyzed by the light obscuration counting method. Refer to specific monographs when a question of test applicability occurs. The microscope counting method may be used to analyze such materials. In some instances, the viscosity of a material to be tested may be sufficiently high so as to preclude its analysis by either method. In this event, a quantitative dilution with an appropriate diluent may be made to decrease viscosity, as necessary, to allow the analysis to be performed. A. Light Obscuration Particle Count Test The test applies to large-volume injections labeled as containing more than 100 mL and single-dose or multiple-dose small-volume injections labeled as containing 100 mL or less that are either in solution or in solution constituted from sterile solids, where a test for particulate matter is specified in the individual monograph or drug product specification.
