• demonstration of compendial protocols (Eur. Pharmacopoeia, USP, ISO 11930),

• technical description of the procedure,

• validation of neutralizer efficacy during PET,

• consideration of the impact of the intrinsic attributes of the formulation which may influence preservative’s efficacy,

• low risk products and presentation of tests to assess both preservation efficacy and microbiome friendliness of a formula.
