Extractables & Leachables (E&L) Analysis for Nucleic Acid Drugs

Inquiry

Using cutting-edge tech and an expert team, CD Formulation offers in-depth E&L evaluations for nucleic acid meds. Our methods are precisely refined and validated for accuracy and reliability, addressing R&D, QA, and regulatory needs, ensuring your products' safety and efficacy.

About Extractables and Leachables

In the field of nucleic acid medications, examining extractables and leachables (E&L) is crucial for product safety. Extractables are chemical compounds drawn out from packaging or manufacturing parts in labs using various solvents under controlled conditions. On the other hand, leachables are substances that migrate into the medication during normal usage and storage from these systems. Because leachables typically stem from extractables, both are usually examined together to detect and manage chemical impurities that may affect drug safety and effectiveness. Accurate E&L analysis is essential for nucleic acid drugs to meet regulatory standards and ensure product safety and efficacy.

Explore Our Extractables & Leachables Analysis for Nucleic Acid Drugs

With state-of-the-art tools and an expert team, CD Formulation offers comprehensive assessments of extractables and leachables, ensuring products do not release harmful agents during use. Our analytical techniques are carefully adjusted and confirmed to ensure accuracy and dependability, meeting the varied requirements of clients in research, quality control, and regulatory adherence.

Volatile and Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds Analysis

We carry out semi-quantitative assessments of volatile and semi-volatile organic substances using GC/MS. The application of direct sample injection alongside electron impact ionization enhances sensitivity and resolution, allowing for precise analysis of organic compounds. Moreover, we adopt headspace sampling to boost analytical accuracy by eliminating intricate pre-treatment procedures and minimizing interference from sample matrices, which guarantees dependable outcomes.

Non-Volatile Organic Compounds Analysis

Our lab utilizes LC/MS to assess non-volatile organic compounds, employing advanced Electrospray Ionization (ESI) technology to effectively detect and measure intricate substances. This strategic combination facilitates extensive coverage and high-throughput analysis, ideal for the detection of various compounds, ensuring an exhaustive assessment of compound profiles.
