Well-equipped state-of-the-art laboratories offer comprehensive testing services according to the pharmacopoeia (e.g. EP, USP, BP, JP) and to customer specifications.
Chemical and Physico-Chemical Testing:
- Assays and chemical tests (e.g. HPLC, GC, UV/Vis, IR)
- Identification of active ingredients and impurities
- Physical and physico-chemical determinations (e.g. pH, viscosity, melting point, osmolality and osmolarity, flash point, loss on drying)
- Limit tests (e.g. heavy metals, ash, anions)
- Residual solvents (volatile organic compounds [VOC], organic volatile impurities [OVI])
- Pharmaceutical technical procedures (e.g. disintegration, dissolution, hardness, friability)
- Sampling and analyses of water for pharmaceutical purpose and controlled process environments (e.g. TOC, conductivity)
