Why quality testing is necessary for Pharmaceutical industries ?
Quality testing is a crucial aspect of the pharmaceutical industry as it ensures that pharmaceutical products are safe, effective, and meet regulatory requirements. Quality testing helps to identify and prevent potential risks to patient safety and ensures that pharmaceutical products are of the highest quality.
Pharmaceutical products are highly regulated, and regulatory bodies require that pharmaceutical companies perform quality testing on their products before they can be released to the market. Quality testing helps to verify the authenticity of active pharmaceutical ingredients, ensure the purity and potency of the drug product, and ensure that the product meets the specifications and standards set by regulatory bodies.
Quality testing also plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products. Microbiological testing, for instance, helps to detect the presence of harmful microorganisms that can cause infections or other adverse effects on patients. Toxicological testing helps to determine the safety of the product and its potential risks to human health.
Quality testing also helps to ensure that pharmaceutical products remain stable over time, and the product maintains its effectiveness throughout its shelf life. Stability testing helps to determine the shelf life of the product and its storage requirements, which is crucial in maintaining the safety and efficacy of the product.
Testing we offer in Pharmaceutical products
- Identification Testing: Verifies the identity of raw materials and finished products using methods such as microscopy, chromatography, and spectrometry.
- Purity Testing: Determines the presence of impurities in the drug substance or product, such as residual solvents, heavy metals, and other contaminants.
- Potency Testing: Measures the strength or potency of the drug substance or product to ensure therapeutic efficacy.
- Dissolution Testing: Evaluates the rate and extent of drug release from the dosage form into a solvent, indicating product quality and performance.
- Stability Testing: Assesses the physical, chemical, and microbiological stability of the product under specific storage conditions.
- Functionality Testing: Evaluates the physical, chemical, and performance characteristics of the product, such as appearance, weight, hardness, and dissolution rate.
- Microbial Testing: Detects the presence of harmful microorganisms in the drug substance or product that can cause spoilage or illness.
- Strength Testing: Measures the amount of active ingredient present in the product and ensures it meets label specifications.
- Physical Testing: Measures the product’s physical properties, such as appearance, color, texture, and other sensory characteristics.
- Chemical Testing: Measures the chemical composition of the product to ensure it meets required specifications.
- Dissolution Testing: Measures the rate and extent at which a product dissolves in a solvent, critical for oral dosage forms.
- Uniformity of Dose Testing: Measures the uniformity of the active ingredient in a batch of product, ensuring each dose contains the same amount of active ingredient.
What pharmaceutical products we test?
Pharmaceutical Raw Materials:
Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs): the biologically active components in drugs that provide therapeutic benefits.
Excipients: inactive ingredients in drugs that are added to help formulate and deliver the drug to the patient, such as binders, fillers, and lubricants.
Solvents: substances used to dissolve drugs and other raw materials in the manufacturing process.
Capsules and shells: materials used to enclose the drug or supplement, such as gelatin, starch, and cellulose.
Coatings: materials used to coat pills or tablets to mask their taste or control their release rate, such as shellac, sugar, and polymers.
Pharmaceutical Finished Products:
- Tablets: solid dosage forms that are compressed into small, flat, round or oval shapes and can be swallowed by the patient.
- Capsules: solid dosage forms that are enclosed in a shell or casing and can be swallowed by the patient.
- Injectables: liquid dosage forms that are administered by injection into the patient’s body.
- Topical creams and ointments: semi-solid dosage forms that are applied to the skin for localized treatment.
- Inhalers: devices that deliver medication to the lungs through inhalation.
- Syrups and suspensions: liquid dosage forms that are administered orally and are used for children or patients who have difficulty swallowing pills.
- Suppositories: solid dosage forms that are inserted into the rectum or vagina for localized treatment or systemic absorption.
- Transdermal patches: adhesive patches that deliver medication through the skin and into the bloodstream.
- Eye drops and ear drops: liquid dosage forms that are administered topically for treatment of eye or ear conditions.
- Vaccines: biological products that stimulate the immune system to prevent or treat infectious diseases.
