# Organic impurities analysis laboratory

## Ensure the quality, safety, and compliance of your products

An organic impurity is any organic component other than the chemical entity being analyzed. Organic impurities can be either resi

Organic impurities are any organic substances present in a material or formulation other than the main intended compound. They may originate from synthesis residues, degradation products, solvents, intermediates, contaminants, or interactions within the product lifecycle.

Accurate identification and quantification of organic impurities play a crucial role in:

- Ensuring **purity, stability, and safety** of raw materials and finished products
- Meeting **regulatory requirements** (pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical industries, etc.)
- Preventing **product degradation**, toxicity issues, and non-compliance risks
- Supporting R&D, formulation development, and routine quality control

FILAB provides advanced analytical capabilities to help you control, monitor, and understand impurities in even the most complex matrices.

## FILAB laboratory provides its customers with its expertise and analytical tools for the analysis of organic impurities

With an [analytical park](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources.md) of 5200m², the FILAB laboratory assists industrialists in the research and identification of impurities in their materials and formulations.

In order to respond to these problems with precision and reliability, FILAB offers a wide range of analytical techniques, adapted to any type of material:

Qualitative analysis by GC-MS chromatography

Impurity profiling (related substances) by HPLC-UV/MS

Analysis of an organic impurity by LCQTOF, LC-UV, NMR

Quantitative analysis of the 30 most common elements by ICP-AES

[Analytical development](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/rd/life-cycle-of-an-analytical-method-in-the-laboratory/analytical-development/) in the laboratory by [GC-MS](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/gas-chromatography-analysis-lab-gc/tdu-gc-ms-analysis/) or [LC-MS](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-uplc.md)

## FAQ

 What are organic impurities?
Organic impurities are unwanted organic substances present in a product or material. 

They can include solvents, intermediates, degradation products, synthesis by-products, or contaminants introduced during manufacturing.

 Why is organic impurity analysis important?
It ensures product safety, purity, and regulatory compliance, prevents degradation or toxicity issues, and supports development and quality control activities.

 Which analytical techniques do you use?
We use GC-MS, HPLC-UV/MS, LC-QTOF, NMR, ICP-AES, and other advanced techniques depending on your matrix and objectives.

 Do you follow regulatory guidelines?
Yes. FILAB can perform analyses in compliance with **ISO 17025**, **ICH Q3**, **Pharmacopoeia** guidelines, and other industry regulations.

 Can you analyze any type of material?
Absolutely. we work with pharmaceuticals, chemicals, polymers, cosmetics, medical devices, packaging, and many more material categories.

 Do you provide method development and validation?
Yes, our experts can develop or validate tailor-made methods suited to your materials and regulatory requirements.

 What information do I need to provide to request a quote?
Please include the sample type (API, raw material, finished product, etc.), the number of samples, the analytical method required (pharmacopoeial, in-house, or method development), and any known target impurities or regulatory expectations.

 How long does it take to receive a quote for organic impurities testing in your laboratory ?
Once we receive all necessary details, our team typically provides a customized quote within **24–48 hours**.
