Jianfeng Hong MS

Jianfeng Hong received his Master's degree in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Louisville, USA, and Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Chemistry from Sun Yat-sen University of P.R. China.

From 1995 to 2007, he worked for several pharmaceutical companies and a research organization including PPD, Pfizer and Baxter as an analytical chemist performing analyses of pharmaceuticals and impurities /degradants in drug formulations and biological fluids using HPLC, UPLC/UV/MS and GC/MS analytical techniques. Since 2008, he worked for Fenwal (a Baxter spin-off company and now a part of Fresenius Kabi) to establish the extractable/leachable chemistry testing lab for medical device and parenteral pharmaceutical contact closure systems. The test lab is equipped with advanced analytical instruments such as UPLC/MS, GC/MS, and ICP/MS with modern high-resolution mass spectrometers.

He has been leading the analytical chemists of the laboratory to perform extractable/leachable analyses to support parenteral pharmaceutical and medical device product development and product life cycle management. The E/L tests include parenteral pharmaceutical containers (pre-filled syringes, vials, etc.) and medical device material (sheeting, port tube, filter, label, diaphragms etc.) for blood and cellular component separation/collection for infusion therapies.

He is a recognized expert in the space for chemical characterizations for medical device material and pharmaceutical contact closure systems. He is a frequent invited speaker for national and international extractable/leachable and biocompatibility conferences and workshops.
