 Dry Ice Effect [Bioanalytics]

Dear All,

During the BE studies, plasma study samples are to transferred from clinical unit to bioanalytical laboratory for analysis under dry ice condition with maintaining required temperature. For this support we are doing one more FT cycle in method validation, but it was not fulfill the requirement to observe any physical impact of dry ice to drug in plasma during transfer with dry ice condition.

So for this support, if required Dry Ice Effect experiment during method validation, please answer...

Regards,

Keshav D. Khude

 Dry Ice Effect

Dear Keshav,

For small molecules this is currently not required by any guideline. It is generally considered that if you have demonstrated stability at -20°C, it will cover lower temperatures too. There have been some discussions about the possible effect of CO2 on the pH of the samples and from there on stability, but as far as I know no regulatory agency asks for stability on dry ice.

For large molecules (proteins) there is much more debate due to the possible influence of variations in temperature on the structure of the proteins.

Ohlbe

 Dry Ice Effect

Dear Ohlbe!

❝ There have been some discussions about the possible effect of CO2 on the pH of the samples…


Interesting. Even if CO2 diffuses through vial's stoppers, I would guess it would take a remarkably long time to diffuse into the sample (we are talking about penetrating a solid here). BTW, especially plasma's HCO3+ buffer system is a quite strong one. ;-)

 Additional FT?

Dear Keshav!

❝ […] plasma study samples are to transferred […] under dry ice condition with maintaining required temperature. For this support we are doing one more FT cycle in method validation,


Why? I assume you transfer already frozen samples to the transport boxes / dry ice. No FT should happen here.

❝ […] but it was not fulfill the requirement to observe any physical impact of dry ice to drug in plasma during transfer with dry ice condition.


Can you please specify what exactly you have done? One additional FT cycle, or…?

❝ So for this support, if required Dry Ice Effect experiment during method validation, please answer…


At the Arlington III conference some participants claimed that for some drugs proven stability at -78 ℃ does not grant stability at -20 ℃; but this is extremely counterintuitive.
