At CD Formulation, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive particulate matter analysis services for nucleic acid drugs. Through precise analytical processes, we effectively identify and control particulate contamination in your products, ensuring they meet the highest industry standards.
In the safety analysis of nucleic acid drugs, particulate matter analysis plays a crucial role in ensuring product purity and safety. This analysis involves the removal, counting, and evaluation of particulate contaminants in drug formulations, to determine inherent particle levels and particles introduced during production. Particularly in the development of nucleic acid drugs, particulate analysis is essential for predicting risks that may affect drug stability, efficacy, and patient safety. This process helps identify potential sources of particulate contamination, enabling optimization of manufacturing processes to ensure the final product meets stringent quality control standards, thereby enhancing medication safety.

These are external contaminants introduced during production or packaging, such as environmental particles, debris from equipment wear, and airborne pollutants.
These originate from auxiliary materials or improper maintenance during manufacturing, potentially including residues, minute metal particles falling off from equipment, and micro-contaminants from production media.
These reflect the inherent properties of nucleic acid drugs and may relate to the molecular nature and aggregation behavior of nucleic acids.

Optical Particle Counting Test | We utilize liquid particle counter systems employing light obstruction methods to detect subvisible particles in parenteral products, suitable for various sample matrices with different viscosities, colors, and solvents, offering accurate and reproducible counts. |
Microscopic Particle Counting Test | Using a microscope equipped with appropriate micrometry and accessories, we perform observational tests for subvisible particles in your products. This method serves for confirmatory assessments or when sample matrix properties are incompatible with automated instruments and sensors. As a manual method, it enhances reliability by increasing judgment and discernment. |
Our team can design customized studies to calculate particles in various dosage forms using both static and dynamic models, possibly involving the simulation of device activation or deployment through physical and chemical models. While particle counting employs the same technique, the extraction, flushing, collection, and solution presentation of particles are tailored for unique configurations, geometries, and drug-device combination product uses. Data evaluation, product quality determination, and specification setting require risk assessment specific to the product application.

Results:
Fine particulate matter, characterized by its small size yet large surface area, is known to exert numerous toxic effects that can potentially harm various tissues within the human body. Notably, recent research has pointed to a potential link between increased exposure to PM and a decline in female fertility rates. Despite this, the precise mechanisms through which PM negatively impacts female fertility remain debated. In groundbreaking findings, researchers have identified that PM exposure substantially hinders beneficial functions of endometrial stem cells - such as their ability to self-renew, differentiate into other cell types, and migrate - both in laboratory settings and living organisms. This process appears to be mediated through the PM-sensitive gene SERPINB2. Moreover, by inhibiting SERPINB2, scientists observed a marked reduction in PM's adverse effects on these stem cell functions.
