Stability and Specification Studies
We perform analyses in compliance with the pharmaceutical GLP employing a seasoned staff of talented scientists with state-of-the-art test facilities based on our highly developed technology and the confidence we have cultivated over our years of experience in organic and inorganic analytical chemistry, physical property analysis, and GLP compliance.
In addition to our broad range of experience and achievements in specification testing based on JP, USP, and EP standards, we have a selection of storage stability tests, including accelerated tests, stress tests, and photostability tests for drug substance or drug products in reference to ICH guidelines. We perform studies on the basis of reliability standards in compliance with the pharmaceutical GLP. We are now delighted to announce that we can also provide studies under reliability standards in full compliance with GMP.
