The quality of transdermal formulations needs to be tested from multiple angles and levels, and multiple items need to be tested to ensure the quality of transdermal formulations. Different analytical methods can be used for each test item. To make the test results accurate and reliable, the scientificity, accuracy, and precision of the analytical method need to be verified to fully demonstrate that the analytical method meets the requirements of the test items. CD Formulation can provide you with various analytical method verification services.
The purpose of method validation is to determine whether the analytical method used is scientific and reasonable and whether it can effectively control the quality of drugs. According to the requirements of the test items, certain validation contents are set in advance, and reasonable tests are designed to verify whether the analytical method used meets the requirements of the test items. The validation test items are identification, impurity inspection (limit test, quantitative test), quantitative determination (content determination, dissolution, release, etc.), other specific test items, etc. The validation contents include the method's specificity, linearity, range, accuracy, precision, detection limit, quantitative limit, durability system applicability, etc.
The services we can provide you include but are not limited to the following:
Taking the development of API analytical methods as an example, our process is as follows:

1. Determine analytical objectives and requirements: Before developing API analytical methods, clarify analytical objectives and requirements. Including determining the compounds to be analyzed, the sensitivity and accuracy of the analytical method, etc.
2. Determine analytical methods: Select analytical methods based on analytical objectives and requirements.
3. Method optimization and validation: After determining the analytical method, optimize and validate. Containing determining analytical conditions, evaluating the reliability and accuracy, etc.
4. Sample preparation and analysis: After optimizing and validating the analytical method, perform sample preparation and analysis.
5. Data analysis and report writing: After completing sample analysis, analyze and process the data to determine the content and purity of the compound, etc. Finally, an analytical report needs to be written to record the analytical results and methods.
Our transdermal patch analysis methods are equipped with a variety of advanced instruments, including but not limited to:
