Analytical Science and Technology

Depending on the complexity of the problem, one or more of these techniques may be used to provide a complete analysis of a sample.

• Spectroscopy and microscopy
• Separation and environmental analysis
• Quality control

Whether you need to improve an existing method or develop a new method, we have a full range of capabilities in method development and validation as per the latest compendial guidelines. At analytical science and technology centre, you can be assured of efficient, robust and reliable methods to suit your specific needs.

Depending on the type of method development (identification tests, impurity tests- limit, impurity tests- quantitative, potency assays, specific tests), we conduct validation on the following parameters:

• Accuracy
• Detection limit
• Linearity
• Precision
• Quantification limit
• Range
• Robustness
• Specificity

Capabilities:

• High-performance liquid chromatography
• Gel permeation chromatography
• Gas chromatography with headspace and MS
• Spectroscopy and microscopy
• XRD, SAXS and XRF
• DSC &TGA
• PSA
• Streaming and zeta potential
• Karl Fischer moisture analyser

The data obtained is used to qualify materials as per customer specifications, to help design materials for optimum end-use performance or to evaluate the effects of exposure environments on the stability properties of the materials in test. This application is helpful for pharmaceutical drug substances and drug manufacturing companies.

Capabilities:

• Material characterisation and polymorphism study using SEM, XRF, XRD, DSC, TGA and FTIR

Tests for microstructure analysis, plating/coating thickness and quality, grain size, case depth, inclusion rating, porosity, corrosion tests and failure analysis are routinely performed. Our scanning electron microscope is utilised for fracture surface examination and high-resolution micro structure examination. Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy is used for elemental analysis of constituents and compounds.

Capabilities:

• Material characterisations using SEM, XRF, XRD, DSC, TGA and UTMRead More

These procedures are applied to analyses of coating resins, plastics, adhesives, foundry binders, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, organic and inorganic impurities, heavy metal characterisations, organic elemental analysis, etc.

Capabilities:

Total quality control testing using world-class equipment and technologies is available in our analytical labs

The Analytical Science and Technology group provides services in setting up quality initiatives and analytical laboratories with better productivity and efficiencies.

Capabilities:

• ISO 9001:2008
• ISO 17025:2005

The team also coordinates with the Analytical Project Proposal System to define protocols for solving the more complex, non-routine requests. The process involves strategy meetings; itemised experiments, tests, or analyses; and follow-up meetings in collaboration with the customer.
