Method Troubleshooting and Optimization

If you have an old QC method that does not work and constantly needs troubleshooting, we might have a solution for you. In the past, we have identified shortcomings in our clientele's various existing methods and assisted them with improving their methods’ performance. We have also helped them define and perform additional validation experiments to maintain compliance.

Sample Analysis / Investigations

We can perform fast and efficient sample analysis either using a method provided by the client or developed by us. We strive to provide the fastest turnaround time possible because we know that every day makes a big difference in a fast paced drug development environment. Oftentimes, urgent investigations need to be performed that impact manufacturing process and effect drug quality and we do our best to accommodate such urgent requests.

Identification and Structure Elucidation

If you have a drug product or API that exhibits peaks in chromatograms that you would like to identify, we will assist with structure elucidation using LC-MS technique. Such studies are usually required during pre-clinical and early clinical stages. Major degradation products also need to be identified during forced degradation studies.

Method Development, Validation and Transfer

If you are in need of a challenging method development, you’ve come to the right place. Our scientists have expertise with virtually all possible classes of compounds and can find solutions to most difficult separations. Whether you are looking to quantitate a low level active compound with no UV chromophore or a highly labile compound, we can help solve your problem.

Once we develop a method, we can assist with method validation and transfer to a third party or to the client’s laboratory. We will provide necessary guidance on the validation experiments required in compliance with cGMP.

Preformulation Studies

- Solution stability studies (define sensitivities to pH, buffer, buffer strength, and salt concentration)
- Solubility curves (determine ionization constant (pKa), define osolvent and complexing solubility)
- Agglomeration or micelle determination and size
- Forced degradation and compound/protein stabilization studies
- Determine compound or protein sensitivity to pH, heat or oxidation
- Stabilizer screening (using pharmaceutical, veterinary or agricultural approved additives)

Solution Product Development

- Prototype formulas developed based on preformulation study results
- Round 1: short term stability studies to separate the wheat from the chaff
- Round 2: optimize formulas and monitor on stability to pick the champion

Filter Compatibility Screening

- Screen compound or protein adsorption and stability following filtration at lab scale

Biomarker analysis and assay development services

We can provide free analysis of markers appropriate for your pathway or set up quantitative assays for your marker of interest.
