Testing and release for pharma and life sciences
Pharmaceutical quality control testing
We offer a wide range of physical, chemical and microbiological analysis for finished pharmaceutical formulations, APIs and excipients. As a certified GMP laboratory inspected and accepted by the German State Agency (Regierungspräsidium Tübingen Leitstelle Arzneimittelüberwachung) and the FDA (Department of Health and Human Services), we develop analytical methods, validate them according to the valid ICH guidelines and master chemical and microbiological analysis for the testing of medicinal products and active pharmaceutical ingredients in accordance with the applicable GMP guidelines.
