ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ blends regulatory acumen and an “always available” mindset to provide unmatched quality, compliance and customer service to support the expedient release of small and large molecule finished products in addition to the qualification of raw materials, APIs, excipients, intermediates, starting materials, cell banks, vectors, bulk harvest materials and control cells.

Testing and compliance to the standardized methods and specifications detailed within pharmacopeial compendia is a basic requirement for manufacturing release and distribution of biopharmaceutical ingredients and drug products around the world. Compendial methods may be implemented as part of routine quality control strategies, in addition to addressing anticipated regulatory concerns, and/or establishing general drug compatibility.

ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ offers comprehensive compendial testing programs that meet specifications in the US Pharmacopoeia-National Formulary (USP/NF), European Pharmacopoeia (EP), British Pharmacopoeia (BP), the Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP), and those that are set by the International Council on Harmonisation (ICH). Our compendia release testing solutions support a variety of drug products, including over the counter and generic drugs, pharmaceuticals, biologics and biosimilars, combination products, innovative and novel products and animal drug products. All compendial testing is performed per cGMP standards of 21 CFR 210 and CFR 211.
