Methods
Nearly all methods can be performed according to GMP; validations and method transfers are
individually offered on request.
• GC FID-detection, direct injection, cool-on-column- and Headspace-technology, chiral methods, packed
columns
• HPLC DAD-, UV-VIS-, Fluorescence- and Refractive Index (RI)-detection; column temperatures up to 90°C,
chiral methods, post-column derivatisation
• IR direct measurement of liquids and solids via KBr-pill/window or by modern ATR-technology
• methods according to PhEur and USP, e.g.: full analyses of complete monographs, assays by GC/HPLC/
titration,... impurities, migration studies (testing of containers and labels), TLC, limit tests, microbiological
detection and enumeration tests, microbiological assays of antibiotics, microbiological challenge tests,
endotoxines, Nitrogen/Protein content by Kjeldahl, capillary viscosity (Ubbelohde), rotational viscosity
(Brookfield), disintegration time, dissolution studies, hardness of pills, drop point, freezing point, different
melting point methods, heavy metals (PhEur 2.4.8 /USP <231>), chromatographic profiles, color and turbidity,
spreadability, water by Karl-Fischer, loss on drying, residual solvents, composition of fatty acids, sieving
analyses, osmolality... and many more.
• ICP-SFMS high resolution elemental analyses performed at our partner lab ALS: elemental impurities acc.
PhEur 2.4.20, <USP 232> and ICH Q3D, ultra-trace elemental analyses in a wide range of matrices,
screenings covering up to 70 elements
Infrastructure
On more than 850 m2 of laboratory area we have installed
• GC systems (Agilent 6890 and 7890B) with FID-detection, direct injection, cool-on-column injection,
headspace injection, capillary and packed column support
• HPLC systems (Merck-Hitachi) with DAD-, UV-VIS-, Fluorescence- and RI-detection
• State-of-the-art equipped microbiological laboratory
• IR-spectrometer (Thermo-Nicolet), with ATR-unit and digital library

• Coulometer (Metrohm) for trace determination of water
• Titration systems (Metrohm)
• TLC-systems (Linomat/Camag)
• climatic cabinets according to all ICH-requirements, including modern electronic logging and alarming
system
• a multitude of smaller analytical devices for nearly every purpose (e.g. disintegration and dissolution testing,
pill hardness, osmolality, melting point, optical rotation, refractive index, germ counting, …)
• via partner labs: ICP-SFMS (high resolution ICP-MS), LC-MS/MS, GC-MS, SPME-GC-MS, LC-Q-ToF-MS,
NMR, …
