Analytical Development
Analytical methods are a key element in the characterization of your product which will enable you to obtain important data such as stability, dissolution, shelf life, and other physio-chemical properties. Therefore, the development of analytical methods is conducted in parallel to the formulation development and ends only after the final formulation has been achieved. These methods will then be used to characterize the drug substance and drug product throughout their life cycle (whether in clinical or commercial stages).
Tip from our scientists
Before developing an analytical method, one must consider the intended use of the method and analytical instruments should be chosen accordingly. For example, a method used for quantitation of an active ingredient (API) in the drug product might not be suitable for quantitation of a much lower concentration in human blood and a different instrument might be required.
