Analysis of related substances of pharmaceutical products

Your needs: analyze the related substances present in your pharmaceutical products

To begin with, related substances are organic impurities. They can be derived from intermediates also called by-products of synthesis or degradation products. Once identified, these substances have an acceptance threshold when they are present in a pharmaceutical product.

Indeed, related substances are the subject of monographs in the pharmacopoeia. Regulations have been defined that describe the requirements they must meet to guarantee the quality of the medicine.
