By Phase

Preclinical Phase Testing

Analytical support that bridges discovery into regulated development — formulation characterisation, dose verification, impurity profiling and supportive method development ahead of GLP toxicology, IND and CTA submissions.

What It Covers

Scope of Work

Dose-formulation analysis (homogeneity, concentration, stability) for tox studies

Impurity profiling for tox-batch material

Stability-indicating method development for IMP candidates

Reference-standard characterisation and qualification

Stress and forced-degradation studies for IND-enabling work

Container compatibility for dosing vehicles

Bioanalytical liaison and matrix-effect screening

Specifications drafting against ICH Q6A principles

How We Do It

Methods & Instrumentation

HPLC / UPLC

Stability-indicating assay and related substances for IMP.

LC-MS / LC-MS/MS

Impurity quantification and metabolite scouting.

GC / Headspace

Residual solvents per ICH Q3C in tox-batch material.

Dissolution

Early-formulation dissolution screening.

Karl Fischer

Water content for moisture-sensitive APIs and excipients.

Forced Degradation

Acid, base, oxidation, heat, light per ICH Q1A / Q1B principles.

Regulatory Framework
