Laboratory analysis of foreign bodies found in pharmaceutical products
Are you looking to analyze foreign bodies found in your pharmaceutical products ?
Throughout the production process, there are very many possible sources of contaminants which could lead to the apparition of a foreign bodies in a medication. They can be of various natures, they can be organic, inorganic and even metallic.
Their presence can have a negative impact on the performance of a medication or could even be toxic to the patient. Due to this, the identification of foreign bodies and the adaptation of production processes is paramount.
Identifying a foreign body requires the use of high-performance analytical tools due to the fact that these bodies are often invisible to the naked eye and that the size of one of these bodies can vary from a few micrometers down to a few nanometers.
