RQM+ Live! #91 – Jordi Labs' Lumo: Accurate Response Factors that Strengthen TRA and E&L Decisions

Overview

Response-factor variation is a core barrier to reliable quantitation in extractables and leachables (E&L). This expert session focuses on **why response-factor accuracy matters downstream **and how Lumo’s predictive response factors make toxicological risk assessment (TRA) and regulatory dialogue more defensible, and when targeted experiments are still needed. We’ll keep the spotlight on decision quality, uncertainty handling, and practical boundaries for semi-quantitative work.

What you’ll learn

• TRA impact: how tighter response-factor accuracy shifts margins of safety and escalation decisions.
• Defensibility for regulators: documenting assumptions, uncertainty, and flags in the ISO 10993-18 context.
• When predictions are enough: a clear rubric for moving from predictive results to targeted standards.
• Real-world scenarios: representative compound classes (e.g., phenols, esters, acids, sulfur species) and what changes with better RFs.
• Operational handoff: the deliverables RA/TRA reviewers need with semi-quantitative results.

Who should attend

E&L scientists, RA/QA leaders, and toxicologists seeking decision-ready semi-quantitative data that stands up in submissions.
