In this Medtech Matters podcast episode, sponsored by Nelson Labs, we’re discussing the importance of E&L (extractables and leachables) and biocompatibility testing for a variety of medical devices. The pair from Nelson Labs—Audrey Turley, B.S., Director of Lab Operations – Biosafety, and Kristin Treece, Ph.D., Principal Scientist - Analytical Chemistry—bring their expertise to the conversation, where a number of issues are resolved. During this episode, the following questions are addressed:

• First, what is Nelson Labs? What do you do? 
• What is E&L testing?
• Why is it important? 
• What is being tested? 
• Is this done on all medical devices?
• Are there different tests for E&L depending on the device and/or application?
• When is E&L testing performed?
• What is biocomp testing? 
• Why is it important?
• When is it performed?
• How do you perform in vivo testing? (and what does in vivo mean?)
• Anything else device manufacturers need to know about E&L and/or biocomp testing?
