GMP analytical services

In full compliance with EU-GMP and USFDA requirements, we help managing analytical services of APIs and FDFs through various applications:


Chromatography: liquid (HPLC, UPLC), ion (IC), thin layer (TLC), size exclusion (SEC) and gas chromatography (GC, including headspace), as well as GC-MS, GC-MS-MS, HPLC-MS and HPLC-MS-MS techniques
Atomic spectrometry: atomic absorption and atomic emission (e. g. ICP-OES)
Identification through molecular spectroscopy: NMR, UV/VIS, IR/NIR and mass spectrometry
Elemental analysis
Residual Solvents Methods by GC-HS
Classical analysis: Volumetry, gravimetry, photometry, chemical characteristics, potentiometry, polarography
Physico-chemical parameters: e. g. viscosity, particle size distribution, surface tension

AMD/AMV development & technology transfer

We offer analytical method development (AMD), analytical method validation (AMV), analytical method transfer (AMT) and batch analysis/release testing in a GMP-analytical facility supporting IND, DMF and ANDA filings:

Method development 
Method verification 
Method validation 
Method transfer 
Batch release testing

We also provide in-depth solutions for the analysis of cytotoxic and highly potent drugs from dedicated laboratories.

Nitrosamine screening

Active pharmaceutical ingredients and drug formulations are endangered by N-nitrosamines that occur from cross-contamination. We help identify the presence of nitrosamines in pharmaceutical products, which will help you ensure product safety and compliance as per USFDA and EMEA requirements. Our integrated harmonized method and approach enables the identification of N-nitrosamines:
NDMA: N-nitrosodimethylamine
NDEA: N-nitrosodiethylamine
NMBA: N-nitroso-N-methylamino butyric acid
DIPNA: N-nitrosodiisopropylamine
EIPNA: N-nitrosoethylisopylamine
NDBA: N-nitrosodibutylamine

Elemental Impurities Studies [ICH Q3 D]

Our services bolster up your approval process by providing validated methods tailored for APIs and FDFs based on ICHQ3D guidance. 
We ensure that the shortlisted laboratory develops a compliance strategy to successfully implement ICH Q3D.
