AMPAC Analytical conducts reference standard qualifications for proprietary customer compounds, including novel raw materials, intermediates, and active pharmaceutical ingredients. We offer cGMP qualification and characterization services to establish the identity and potency for Certified Reference Standards (CRS). We apply multiple spectroscopic techniques (including IR, NMR, and MS) to establish identity and apply titration, HPLC, GC, and other techniques to establish potency values.
