  • Pharmaceutical compounding errors

    This test provides conclusive evidence of the identity of a substance using infrared absorption spectrums compared to a USP reference standard. Conformance with both IR absorption and UV absorption test specifications, as called for in a large proportion of compendial monographs, leaves little doubt, if any, regarding the identity of the specimen under examination.

  • Specific Gravity

    This test measures the ratio of tahe density of a substance to the density of a standard, usually water.

  • Water Methods 1a, 1b, 2, 3 USP <921>

    The determination of water content is important in demonstrating compliance with Pharmacopeial standards.

  • Residual Solvents USP <467>

    Residual Solvents are organic volatile chemicals that are used or produced in the manufacture of a drug substance or excipient, or in the preparation of drug products. Residual solvents should be removed, to the extent possible, to meet ingredient and product specifications, good manufacturing practices or other quality-based requirements. This test calculates the levels of residual solvents present in the product.

  • Melting Point / Range USP <741>

    This test determines the temperature or temperature range at which a solid melts. This is often related to the purity of the substance.

  • Loss on Drying USP <731>

    Residual Solvents are organic volatile chemicals that are used or produced in the manufacture of a drug substance or excipient, or in the preparation of drug products. Residual solvents should be removed, to the extent possible, to meet ingredient and product specifications, good manufacturing practices or other quality-based requirements. This test calculates the levels of residual solvents present in the product.

  • Melting Point / Range USP <741>

    This test determines the temperature or temperature range at which a solid melts. This is often related to the purity of the substance.

  • Assay - HPLC, UV, Titration

    This test measures the analyte present in a given sample utilizing High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Ultra Violet Chromatography, or Titration.

  • pH USP <791>

    A pH test measures the amount of acidity or basicity of a solution.

  • Viscosity

    This test measures the extent to which a fluid resists a tendency to flow.

  • Atomic Absorption

    Atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) measures the concentration of over 70 elements in solution.
