Develop an analytical method tailored to your industrial challenges

Not all analytical challenges can be solved using standardized methods. When faced with complex matrices, innovative molecules, very low concentrations, or specific regulatory requirements, the development of a custom analytical method becomes essential.

At FILAB laboratory, we support manufacturers in the design, optimization, validation and transfer of analytical methods tailored to their products, processes, and regulatory constraints.

Thanks to our expertise in analytical chemistry and our state-of-the-art instrumentation, we develop robust, reliable, and reproducible methods to address the most complex challenges.

Why develop a specific analytical method?

Une méthode analytique sur mesure permet de répondre à des besoins qui ne peuvent être couverts par une méthode existante ou normalisée.

Le développement analytique est particulièrement adapté lorsque vous souhaitez :

  • analyser une nouvelle molécule ou un nouveau matériau ;
  • caractériser un produit innovant ;
  • doser un composé à l'état de trace ;
  • identifier des impuretés ou contaminants inconnus ;
  • répondre à une exigence réglementaire spécifique ;
  • adapter une méthode existante à une matrice complexe ;
  • améliorer les performances d'une méthode déjà utilisée (sensibilité, sélectivité, temps d'analyse…).

Chaque développement est construit en fonction de vos objectifs analytiques, des caractéristiques de votre échantillon et des performances attendues.

Our analytical development approach

Needs assessment

Our experts work with your teams to define:

  • the compounds of interest;
  • the matrix to be analyzed;
  • the expected concentration levels;
  • the performance criteria;
  • the regulatory or standards context.
Method development

Our teams select the most suitable analytical techniques and optimize the analysis parameters in order to achieve the best performance in terms of:

  • sensitivity;
  • specificity;
  • precision;
  • accuracy;
  • repeatability;
  • robustness.
Method validation

When necessary, the developed method is validated according to the applicable standards (ICH, ISO, pharmacopoeias, or specific specifications) in order to demonstrate its analytical performance.

Support and transfer

We can also support the transfer of the method to your quality control laboratory or ensure its routine use at FILAB laboratory.

Why carry out tailor-made analytical development?

FILAB laboratory supports industrial companies with a wide range of challenges:

  • development of a trace-level impurity assay method;
  • identification of unknown compounds after product failure;
  • development of a quality control method for a new raw material;
  • adaptation of a chromatographic method to a complex matrix;
  • development of a metal assay method in line with regulatory thresholds;
  • chemical characterization of an innovative material;
  • optimization of an existing method to improve its sensitivity.

Our FAQ

How can i get a quote from FILAB?

To get a quote, you can contact our teams via our contact form, by phone, or by email.
All you need to do is send us your requirements (type of material, desired analysis, any standard to apply, urgency, number of samples, etc.). We will then send you a personalized technical and pricing proposal within 24-48 hours.

What is the typical turnaround time for analysis?

Lead times vary depending on the nature of the analysis and the complexity of the expertise project.
However, FILAB is committed to providing fast turnaround times adapted to your industrial constraints and urgent needs.

What types of samples can be subject to analytical development?

A laboratory can develop methods for a wide variety of matrices:

  • polymers and plastics;
  • metals and alloys;
  • pharmaceutical products;
  • medical devices;
  • cosmetics;
  • raw materials;
  • powders and advanced materials;
  • liquids, solids, gels, or suspensions;
  • products from recycling or industrial processes.
Can the laboratory validate the developed method?

Yes. Once developed, the method can be validated in accordance with current recommendations (ICH, pharmacopoeias, ISO standards, or other applicable reference frameworks). The criteria assessed may include accuracy, precision, linearity, specificity, limits of detection and quantification, as well as robustness.

What is the difference between analytical method development and validation?

Method development consists of designing and optimizing a method tailored to your needs. Validation then demonstrates that this method produces reliable, reproducible results that comply with regulatory requirements.

Which industrial sectors are concerned by analytical development?

Custom analytical development serves many sectors:

  • pharmaceutical;
  • medical devices;
  • cosmetics;
  • chemicals;
  • aerospace;
  • automotive;
  • energy;
  • nuclear;
  • luxury goods;
  • recycling and materials recovery.
