Analytical Method Development and Validation
Identification, Development, Monitoring and Quality Control Testing of your Product
Our scientists recognise that successful development programmes begin with a thorough understanding of the physico-chemical characteristics of the API, and any potential stability or excipient incompatibility challenges.
Analytical Research and Development
Using a range of techniques including, DSC / TGA, XRPD, Microscopy, FTIR, Particle sizing. etc. we gain fundamental understanding and insight into the behaviours and of your API and support the development activities required to support First in Human studies and product development.
- Material Identification
- Solubility Screening
- Excipient Compatibility
- Physio Chemical characterisation
- Support or enabling protocols UpperSolv™, PulmoCraft™ and UpperNose™
Analytical and QC Services
Once your product enters clinical development our dedicated team of analytical experts work with you and our cross functional teams to transfer, development, and phase appropriate validation of your analytical methods and performance of QC and release testing including:

Stability Testing (ASAPprime®)
Early data read outs on the stability of both the API and early formulations can be used to provide early indications on potential stability issues, vital information that can save time and money in the development pathway.
ASAPprime® has been incorporated into our development programme as a critical, early stage analytical tool for identifying potential stability issues
