The special nanosize, nanostructure, and surface properties of nanoformulations may lead to significant changes in the behavior of the drug in vivo and in vitro, thereby achieving clinical benefits. At the same time, the safety risks caused by nanoscale effects may also increase accordingly. Therefore, in-depth research and effective control of the quality of nanoformulations are fundamental to ensure the effectiveness and safety of nanoformulations. Based on the particularities of nanoformulations such as composition, structure, physical and chemical properties, formulation processes, clinical formulation and usage methods, CD Formulation studies the quality attributes related to nanoformulations by designing, optimizing, and validating analytical and characterization methods applicable to nanoformulations.
Focused research and full characterization of the critical quality attributes (CQAs) of nanoformulations is not only conducive to the optimization of nanoformulation preparation process parameters and the determination of critical quality attributes, but also provides a basis for comprehensive quality control and the establishment of pharmaceutical quality standards. It is also helpful to explore the biological characteristics and mechanism of action of nanoformulations, improve the predictability of nanoformulation behavior in vivo, and provide a reference for preclinical and clinical research.
CD Formulation adheres to the specific and high-quality standards of nanoformulation, with extensive practical expertise in assessing and testing nano properties, quality control, nanoformulation analytical method development and validation, and analytical method transfer. We offer top-notch research and analytical services for nanoformulations to researchers and pharmaceutical companies.
Our overall analytical strategy for quality control of nanoformulations is based on the drug evaluation risk assessment strategy. It focuses on the impact of the quality properties of nanoformulations on their safety and effectiveness. Our quality control studies based on risk assessment may include the following aspects:
Research on quality control indicators and critical quality attributes (CQAs) of nanoformulations can be used for prescription process screening and stability inspection of nanoformulations. It can provide a reference and basis for subsequent non-clinical research and even clinical research.

Results:
The authors investigated the simultaneous measurement of nanocarriers and cargo using label-free, non-destructive single particle automated Raman capture analysis (SPARTA). They first synthesized a library of model compounds that covered a range of hydrophilicities and provided unique Raman signals. These compounds are then loaded into model nanovesicles (polymersomes), which can load hydrophobic and hydrophilic cargo into the membrane or core region, respectively. The authors characterized the heterogeneity of the population by correlating signals from the membrane and cargo to each particle. This study demonstrates that this label-free analytical technology can accurately determine the cargo location and loading and release heterogeneity in nanomedicines, which provides necessary technical support for the quality control of nanoformulations. This is a confocal raman spectroscopic imaging of giant polymersomes.
