OIT-005 · Uniformity, redispersibility and dosing device
Demonstrating consistent concentration in the finished product and delivery device.
Template for local scientific review and approval. This is not an approved SOP of a specific laboratory.
OIT-005 · 1.0 · 10.09.2026
Scope
Demonstrating consistent concentration in the finished product and delivery device.
Roles and prerequisites
Responsible pharmacist: approves implementation and release. Trained operator: performs and records work. Reviewer: verifies critical items. Specialist clinician/analytical partner: as specified.
Before implementation complete local document IDs, named roles, suitable equipment, specific specifications and acceptance criteria. Check the applicable framework in your country.
Procedure
Define quality attributes: measured protein/analyte, uniformity, particles and the amount delivered by the dosing device.
Design sampling at different vessel locations and beginning/middle/end of filling as justified by the study. Do not sample only the easiest location.
Study settling and redispersibility after representative standing periods. Define shaking that a user can realistically perform.
Assess delivered-volume accuracy, clogging, dead volume and adsorption in the chosen syringe/adapter. Do not assume all dosing devices are equivalent.
Use analysis suitable for the final matrix and low concentrations. Record detection/quantification limits and uncertainty where critical.
Compare results with predefined criteria. Check in-use behaviour and performance toward the proposed BUD.
Stop criterion
Failed uniformity, irreversible settling or unreliable dose delivery: no release.
