Through in-depth knowledge and a fully-validated autoclave, im体育APP provides pharmaceutical container and 包装 testing services to various pharmacopeia methods including USP, EP, 和JP方法. 

The 包装 system used to deliver pharmaceuticals to patients is a crucial part of product development. Containers must be capable of retaining the therapeutic efficacy of a drug product from the time of 包装 through to administration. Containers that do not meet the specifications of the major compendia can compromise the safety and effectiveness of the drug product.

We provide professional testing services for containers, container closures and pharmaceutical 包装 on a broad range of polymers and glass containers to several pharmacopeia methods, including USP <660>, USP <661> and USP <671>; EP 和JP方法.  

We also offer Atomic Absorption Spectrometry with hydride generation to support full EP monograph requirements, 以及 extractables and leachables testing to evaluate the potential for chemicals to migrate from the container closure into the product and demonstrate that your package meets the required specifications. 

我们的 pharmaceutical container and 包装 testing services are supported by state-of-the-art laboratory equipment, including a fully-validated autoclave.
