CD Formulation is a service provider for custom pharmaceutical formulation projects, providing diverse CRO services for pharmaceutical formulation development.
Earlier this month, the company announced that a full range of drug analysis services are now available for clients across the globe who are engaged with new drug development.The analytical testing of pharmaceutical products involves chemical, physical and sometimes microbiological analysis.
“More specifically, this process involves aspects of identifying novel drugs, assessing their affinity and specificity, characterizing their molecular structures, and testing their efficiency in vitro and in vivo,” says the Marketing Chief of CD Formulation.With a cGMP-compliant laboratory and equipped with state-of-the-art analytical instruments, CD Formulation has successfully handled a few complicated drug analytical tasks for the clients.
“Prior to the development of any method for the analysis of certain compound or formulation, there are many factors that must be taken into consideration before developing the method and applying it to the intended use.” the Marketing Chief further adds.The drug analytical services provided by CD Formulation are comprehensively arranged, covering:Disintegration TestDissolution TestTablet Hardness TestTablet Fragility TestElemental Impurities AnalysisResidual Solvents TestDosage Units Uniformity TestBioavailability/ Bioequivalence DetectionMicrobial Limits TestParticulate Matter TestExtractables & Leachables TestQuality control and assurance of the analytical process are very important.
With this in mind, the most appropriate analytical techniques should be chosen.
Here are some of the most widely used techniques in the drug analysis process: high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, LC-MS and LC-MS/MS, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), UV/Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, capillary electrophoresis (CE), Karl Fischer titration, inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES, ICP-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis.In addition to the above-mentioned drug analysis techniques, CD Formulation is also able to develop tailored methods to conduct drug analytical services that will meet customer’s specific needs.
