Extractables and leachables
Our forensic chemistry group can help you with designing, performing and reporting extractables and leachables studies for container closure systems as well as process and manufacturing equipment.
Visible, subvisible and submicron particle characterization
Our particle testing lab can help design an adequate subvisible and submicron particle-control strategy including specification setting to meet current health authority requirements and beyond.
Our forensic chemistry particle testing lab offers fast-track particle contamination root cause investigations in drug product processing and manufacturing and provides best inputs into regulatory filings and questions.
Packaging and device characterization (surface morphology, computer tomography)
We perform glass delamination assessments, fogging studies and characterization by Scanning Electron Microscopy and computer tomography to generate valuable insights, such as potential stability liabilities, and potential container issues that may occur during processing and manufacturing.
Drug and device combination product functionality testing
Our team has in-depth experience with drug and device functionality testing (such as injectability) as well as access to the required equipment to thoroughly characterize and optimize the necessary parameters, to ensure successful functionality throughout the shelf-life.
Ensure patient safety and success for your parenteral drug program
Preclinical administration set and testing
The preclinical compatibility testing ensures the use of compatible administration sets to eliminate any risks to the GLP preclinical safety/toxicity studies due to incorrectly dosed and/or unstable drug product or incompatible devices.
Clinical administration setup and testing
Demonstrating in-use stability and administration device compatibility is essential to ensure patient safety and the success of the clinical study. We will help you choose the right setup, execute a time-critical compatibility study and ensure acceptance by global health authorities.
Microbiological in-use time definition and testing
We will support you with risk assessments and evaluations to define microbiological in-use times for use in clinical studies and commercial use.
Pharmacy manual and trainings
We can help you to develop protocols on how a specific product should be handled and used (we can also provide training and materials to clinical centres)
