Tests

Physical properties:

Appearance, mean weight, fill weight, hardness, disintegration, dimensions, loss on drying, friability.

Identification:
Our comprehensive range of equipment allows us to work with the wide range of techniques called for in different test methods and monographs, by standard and bespoke procedures

Dissolution:
USP and EP methods are available. Single time point, or sustained release. Water, or simulated gastric/intestinal fluid.

Assay:
UV, HPLC, or titration. Single or multiple component products can be tested to current monographs or your own validated methods.

Impurities / Related substances:
From TLC to multi-wavelength gradient HPLC.

Stability Trials:
Long term, and accelerated testing is available in accordance with ICH guidelines.

For more information on the above or any QC/QP related items please call (0)115 912 4265 for a confidential discussion.

Equipment

High Performance Liquid Chromatography:
tests for active ingredients / excipients, and the quantification / profiling of excipients etc

Capillary Gas Chromatography:
Also includes a headspace GC.

Dissolution:
The dissolution baths are complemented by a media preparation system, enabling increased throughput when working with degassed media.

UV/Vis Spectrophotometry:
Stand-alone UV/Vis spectrophotometers enable multiple products to be analysed simultaneously.

Infra-red Spectrophotometry:
Our FTIR is fitted with a Specac ‘Golden Gate’, allowing increased sample throughput, due to reduced sample preparation time.

Physical Testing:
Tests are available for the physical testing of capsules and tablets.
