Analytical Method Development and Validation
Reliable and reproducible analytical methods are essential to both the pharmaceutical development process and the evaluation of drug products to meet the standard of potency, purity and stability. Analytical chemists will work to develop, qualify and validate methods or refine existing analytical methods to meet these demands. Getz Pharma Research offers most modes of detection including UV/VIS, PDA, RI, Fluorescence and Conductivity detection, and has developed particular expertise that can address compounds that lack a UV chromophore. This is especially important in identifying impurities and degradation products and thus explaining the mass balance on stability.
