GMP Quality Control

& Release Testing.

We perform sterility testing using membrane filtration in compliance with Ph. Eur. 2.6.1 and USP <71>. The method is suitable for products with short half-lives and high activity levels and ensures reliable detection of microbial contamination under GMP conditions.
We determine visible and sub-visible particles to ensure compliance with particle-related quality requirements. Testing supports patient safety and batch release of sterile products.
We support the development of radiolabelling of your active substances (e.g. small molecules, peptides, antibodies) and analyse radiochemical purity (RCP), radiochemical yield (RCY) as well as potential by-products — including full chemical and microbiological quality control to support a GMP-compliant final product.

Method-Development, Validation

& Risk Assesment.

We perform product-specific analytical and process validations, including sterility testing validation for automated systems. This supports regulatory compliance and dossier submissions across development stages.
We assess extractables and leachables from packaging and process contact materials. Studies include impurity profiling and evaluation of potential impact on product safety and stability.
We offer highly sensitive screening and validated quantification of nitrosamines in APIs, formulations and materials. Our methods support regulatory risk assessments, including challenging matrices.

Analytical Technologies

for handling short-lived and high-activity samples.

We apply HPLC methods to determine content, purity and degradation products. Methods are GMP-compliant and adapted to product-specific requirements.
Using LC-MS/MS, we identify and quantify trace-level impurities, including nitrosamines and extractables. The technique enables highly sensitive and selective analysis in complex matrices.
Gas chromatography is used for the analysis of volatile compounds and residual solvents. Measurements are performed under controlled conditions suitable for high-activity samples.
We determine elemental and metal impurities using ICP-MS. The method is adapted to radioactive matrices and ensures compliance with applicable regulatory limits.
