Assay and Impurity Testing
We perform a broad range of assay and impurity testing. We can perform assay determinations via standard titration methods. We have extensive experience performing assay, purity and impurity testing utilizing liquid chromatography (both HPLC and UHPLC) with a variety of detection systems including UV, MS, RI and CAD (Charged Aerosol Detection).We can also perform assay, impurity and residual solvents testing utilizing Gas Chromatography systems equipped with FID (Flame-Ionizaton Detection), ECD (Electron Capture Detection), TCD (Thermal Conductivity Detection) and MS. We also perform a variety of elemental impurity testing via ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma), ICP-MS, and a variety of pharmacopeia methods (Residue on Ignition/Sulphated Ash, Heavy Metals etc.)
Pharmacopeia Testing
We are able to qualify and implement monographs and testing chapters from the various pharmacopeias and standards including USP, EP, BP, JP, FCC, ACS etc.
