Our laboratory services can benefit not only the pharmaceutical industry, but also the cosmetics, food and chemical industries. What analyses can we perform at your request?
Microbiological laboratory
– Tests of microbiological purity of water, raw materials and packaging materials, medicinal products and dietary supplements – both in terms of the amount and type of microorganisms present in the sample.
– Assessment of the effectiveness of disinfectants.
– Assessment of the microbiological cleanliness of the workspace – we check whether both the production equipment and the surfaces of the production rooms meet the standards for the amount of microorganisms present on them.
– Incubation of samples at specified temperatures and reading results from the provided culture.
– Identification of microorganisms – on the basis of Gram staining and screening for differentiation media, thanks to which it is possible to precisely determine which microorganism is present in the sample.
– Analysis of sterility, fertility and selectivity of microbiological media – we examine whether the delivered media is sterile, whether the microorganisms present in the analyzed samples will be able to grow on them, and whether, depending on their purpose, they allow for the differentiation of individual strains of microorganisms.
Chemical laboratory
– Analyses of starting materials and active substances in accordance with the applicable methods – we check whether a given material meets the requirements of the Polish / European / American Pharmacopoeia.
– Testing medicinal products and dietary supplements – we check the appearance, dimensions and average weight of tablets, their mechanical resistance to abrasion, disintegration time, and we analyse whether the active substance is released to an appropriate extent after a certain time, and its content in the preparation is within the acceptable range.
– Physicochemical determinations such as e.g. density, pH, conductivity, content determination by titration, UV / VIS absorption measurement and / or spectrum registration, identity and purity assessment by thin layer chromatography (TLC), acid number determination, dry weight loss determination , sulphated ash and ash soluble in hydrochloric acid.
– Testing of water for pharmaceutical purposes and tap water (analyzes: conductivity, oxidizing substances, nitrates, heavy metals).
– Storage of samples of starting materials, medicinal products and dietary supplements in climate chambers with specified and constant conditions (temperature, humidity) and carrying out stability tests of these products in accordance with the agreed time schedule and quality specification.
– HPLC analyses, i.e. by high-performance liquid chromatography.
