How We Do It

Methods & Instrumentation

HPLC / UPLC

Method scouting, comparability and purity profiling.

LC-MS

Mass confirmation, fragment interpretation and impurity ID.

NMR (on referral)

Structural confirmation for novel chemical entities.

UV-Vis / FTIR

Functional-group screening and qualitative comparison.

Karl Fischer

Water content for moisture-sensitive intermediates.

Forced Degradation

Acid, base, oxidation, heat and light to identify potential stability liabilities early.

Regulatory Framework

Standards This Work Maps Onto

Methods, documentation and acceptance criteria are designed to align with the standards below. This describes design intent — formal accreditations are listed on the About page.

Internal good scientific practice (pre-GLP)

ICH Q2(R2) — used as a directional reference

Designed to step up cleanly into GLP / GMP work
