State-of-the-Art Equipment and Methods

Within the broad range of services provided by our analytical laboratories and expert teams, specialized equipment and methodologies are used to ensure product quality and to verify processes across all stages of drug product development (DPD). Adhering to quality by design principles (QbD), product and process analysis is performed using our state-of-the-art instruments to ensure optimal formulations and manufacturing processes while further mechanical testing and other analytical methods are used to verify function of vials, pre-filled syringes (PFS), autoinjectors (AI), and other combination products.
