With our knowledge of analytical chemistry and our range of instrumental techniques, we believe that we can undertake the vast majority of the chemical tests listed within the pharmacopoeia monographs.
Experience of developing methods for testing drug products, API’s impurities and excipients for a variety of industries plus facilities to undertake stress testing for the development of stability indicating methods.
We are happy to validate methods developed inhouse, client supplied methods or published methods such as pharmacopoeia monographs.
We can provide onsite conditions
In 1989 Butterworth became a member of the UK Good Laboratory Practice Compliance Programme and continues this status for Analytical Chemistry and Phys/Chem
Whilst specialising in pharmaceutical analysis we also have the capability and experience to undertake other fields of analysis.
Fitted with a variety of detectors we have various instrument techniques available and used for qualitative and quantitative analysis. These include GC-MS, GC, HPLC and IC.
In addition classical techniques available include: Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), Paper Chromatography and Column Chromatography
Primarily used for metals analysis the use of ICP extends the range to non-metallic elements such as Sulfur and Phosphorus. Techniques available include: ICP-MS, ICP-OES and AAS.
Techniques include: FTIR, UV/VIS and Fluorimetry
All our analysts are trained in both gravimetric and titrimetric techniques along with colorimetry, to enable them to perform a wide range of qualitative and quantitative tests.
The term Phys/Chem Testing is taken from the GLP regulations and OECD guidelines for the testing of chemicals and refers to the determination of physical-chemical properties of materials.
A fast, accurate and cost effective technique that can provide crucial information on the purity and composition of many types of material.
