Identification Techniques

Verifying Regulatory Compliance for Raw Materials and Finished Pharmaceutical Products

We are familiar with a wide range of identification methods, and we have the instrumental capabilities to apply and use them depending on the guidelines provided by the official sources (USP, BP, JP, AOAC, FCC, etc.) and in the chemical structure of the analyte itself.

Every raw material or finished product received in our facility is tested for its identity according to the specific method recommended by the monograph. If the chemical to be identified is not listed in any of the official approved literature, our scientific team will propose the more appropriate technique to efficiently and certainly establish the identification of the sample.

The identification options vary from a very simple chemical reaction with the formation of a colored precipitate or a unique color upon the addition of the correct solution to the verification of a specific functional group using a Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) instrument.
