Overview

Chemistry, in overview.

Discipline group

Analytical & Microbial Sciences

Capability groups

4

Chemistry is the division no study can proceed without. Identity, purity, concentration and stability are established here, and every dose administered anywhere in the laboratory traces back to a chemistry result.

The GLP-certified laboratory runs HPLC, GC-MS/MS, LC-MS/MS, ICP-MS, FTIR, NMR, DSC and TGA — a spread that covers organic and inorganic, volatile and involatile, thermal and spectroscopic characterisation without outsourcing a step.

Method development and validation, impurity profiling and characterisation, five-batch analysis and stability programmes are handled end to end, with samples and data archived for ten years.

Capabilities

Four capability groups. 15 listed methods.

Every method below runs inside the same quality system, against the same archive, with the same chain of custody. Study designs are assembled from this catalogue rather than improvised around it.

Specifications

On the record.

Guideline numbers, test species and instrument names are reproduced exactly as the laboratory publishes them, because a method is only portable across borders if it can be named precisely.
