CLEANING VALIDATIONCLEANING
MECHANISMS
Solubility :
Solubility involves the dissolution of one
chemical (the contaminant) in a liquid solvent.
For example, salts may be soluble in water, and
certain organic actives may be soluble in acetone
or methanol.
One of the primary cleaning mechanisms to
be considered during design phase.
Rate of solubility, Insoluble form, Soluble
Insoluble species
Quality Assurance
CLEANING VALIDATIONCLEANING
MECHANISMS
Wetting :
Wetting involves the displacement of one fluid from
a solid surface by another fluid. Wetting can be
improved by the addition of surfactants.
It improve penetration of the cleaning solution
into cracks and crevices, which are usually
difficult-to clean locations.
Quality Assurance
CLEANING VALIDATIONCLEANING
MECHANISMS
Emulsification :
Breaking up an insoluble liquid residue into smaller
droplets and then suspending those droplets
throughout the water.
Emulsion = Mechanical energy + Surfactants /
Polymers.
Emulsions are thermodynamically unstable (say, 5
to 10 mins.).
Redeposition of the cleaned residue back onto the
equipment surfaces.
Agitation should be continued till the time to
7
discharge the cleaning solution to the drain.
Quality Assurance
CLEANING VALIDATIONCLEANING
MECHANISMS
Dispersion :
Dispersion is similar to emulsification, except that it
involves the wetting and deaggregation of solid
particles and then the subsequent suspension of those
particles in water.
More important in dry product manufacturing.
Hydrolysis :
This involves the cleavage of certain bonds in an
organic molecule.
The resultant hydrolyzed residues must either
be water soluble or solubilized at the pH of the
8
cleaning solution.
Quality Assurance
CLEANING VALIDATIONCLEANING
MECHANISMS
Oxidation :
This involves the cleavage of various organic
bonds, such as carbon-carbon bonds, by the action
of a strong oxidizing agent.
Large Non-polar Mol.
Smaller more
polar Mol.
Antimicrobial Action :
Mechanisms that may kill organisms but leave
behind nonviable microbial residues.
Special type of mechanism, sterilization,
disinfection.

Rinse sampling techniques:
Rinse sampling involves using a liquid to cover the
surfaces to be sampled.
(1)One of the easy and widely used sampling
method.
(2)Most preferable liquid for rinsing is water.
(3)The rinse volume is an important factor that
has to be determined.

Quality Assurance

METHODS
Determination rinse volume:
(1)Variability in magnitudes of surface areas gives
rise of variable residue concentrations in rinse
samples (fixed rinse volume).
(2)Variable acceptance criteria for a single
product creates confusion.
(3)It is a good idea to chose variable rinse
volumes to keep constant residue concentration
in rinse samples (fixed acceptance criteria).

Specific vs non-specific methods:
(1)A non-specific assay may detect a variety of
residues.
(2)A specific assay may quantify any anticipated

(3)It is essential to correlate the results from a

The analytical method used for evaluation of

If the target limit in the analytical sample were
5.2 g / mL, and a method was only able to
detect down to 7.0 g / mL, that method would
not be useful for cleaning validation purposes.
The target value should be within the linearity
range of the specific method.
What if the calculated acceptance value is
less than the detectable level of an

There is not an exact sampling procedure
for the collection of rinse water samples
which takes into account the surface area
involved, time of contact.., volume of
rinse, and temperature of rinse, along
