Prof. (Dr.) Jayrajsinh Sarvaiya
Dean – Forensic Pharmacy; Centre Head – Drug & Food Forensics
Prof. (Dr.) Jayrajsinh Sarvaiya is among India’s most experienced specialists in contamination investigation and CAPA implementation, built on the creation of product contact and non-contact part contaminant libraries. At the National Forensic Sciences University (Government of India), he serves as Dean of Forensic Pharmacy and Center Head for Drug and Food Forensics, and has supported more than 250 pharmaceutical plants on visual inspection subject-matter support, complex generics characterization, and contamination investigation. His team received the CPHI India 2025 award for noteworthy contribution to the pharmaceutical industry through niche areas of service.
DAY 2: September 29th, 2026
SESSION: Bridging Visual Inspection and Contamination Control
◆ Visual inspection as a contamination-control input, not just a release gate: how reject data, defect categories and trends feed the Annex 1 Contamination Control Strategy (CCS).
◆ Closing the loop from detection to source: forensic triage of intrinsic, extrinsic and inherent particles using investigative microscopy, SEM-EDS, FTIR and Raman.
◆ Contact and non-contact parts libraries: building a facility-specific contaminant fingerprint database so an event is matched in hours rather than weeks.
◆ Feeding investigation findings back into qualification: casework-derived defects in Knapp kits and AVI challenge sets, so detection is qualified against the contaminants the site actually generates.
◆ From identification to defensible CAPA: linking particle identity to a process source, lot-impact assessment and corrective action that withstands regulatory scrutiny.
