[REACH](https://filab.fr/nos-prestations/analyse/laboratoire-analysis-reach/) - [Pharmacopoeias](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/analysis-industry-pharmaceuticals/laboratory-analysis-pharmacopeia.md), BPF / GMP - ISO standards, customer requirements - Management of [chemical substances](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/chemical-analysis-laboratory/identification-of-a-chemical-substance-in-the-laboratory.md) hazardous substances and impurities Whether it is a matter of identifying contamination, understanding a formulation drift, analyzing a non-conformity, or validating a raw material, you can rely on the expertise of the FILAB laboratory. - Does an impurity affect the product’s stability or safety? - Is a formulation change the cause of a non-conformity? - Does a defect come from the process, raw materials, or storage? - Does your product meet regulatory requirements (REACH, CLP, pharmacopoeias…)?. **As in other demanding sectors, analysis becomes a strategic lever to reduce risks, ensure compliance, and make production more reliable.** ## A Chemical Expertise Laboratory We work on two complementary areas to secure your products and processes: ### Chemical Expertise *Identify, characterize, understand.* - [Impurity identification](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-detection-identification-impurities.md), [contaminant analysis](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-sem-scanning-electron-microscopy/laboratory-analysis-contaminants.md), pollutants - [Composition analysis](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-deformulation-analysis-reverse-engineering.md) (raw materials, finished products) - Regulatory analyses - Deformulation and reverse engineering - [Residue analysis](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-analysis-deposit-contamination/laboratory-analysis-residue-characterization.md) and [traces](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-analysis-failures/laboratory-analysis-trace-chemicals.md) - [Molecular characterization](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/chemical-analysis-laboratory/laboratory-molecular-characterization.md)  **Objective** : ensuring compliance and control of your products Analysis and chemistry expertise laboratory for risk and substance control ### Failure & Process Expertise *Understand, correct, make reliable* - [Product non-conformity analysis](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/rd/custom-testing/filab-helps-you-solve-your-product-non-conformity-problems-in-relation-to-a-specification.md) product - Process deviation investigation - [Stability study](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/health-pharmaceutical-cosmetics/stability-testing-medications-and-active-ingredients.md) and [aging](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-material-testing/filab-accelerated-ageing-test-laboratory.md) - Cross-contamination identification - [Defect analysis](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/rd/problem-solving-related-research-and-development/defect-in-appearance-products-filab-helps-you-to-solve-this-problem.md) (odor, color, precipitate, instability) A failure can be **chemical, physical, or process-related** : only a comprehensive approach makes it possible to identify the source. **Objective:**identify the root cause and secure production Our analytical platform is at the service of your business challenges. ## An Analytical Platform Serving the Chemical Industry Our technical resources ([GC-MS](https://filab.fr/nos-moyens-techniques/laboratoire-analysis-chromatographie-gc-ms/), [LC-MS](https://filab.fr/nos-moyens-techniques/laboratoire-analysis-chromatographie-liquide-hplc/laboratoire-analysis-hplc-ms/), [ICP-OES / ICP-MS](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-icp-icp-ms-icp-aes.md), [FTIR](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-ftir-spectroscopy.md), [XRD](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/x-ray-crystallography-laboratory-xrd.md), [DSC](https://filab.fr/nos-moyens-techniques/laboratoire-analysis-dsc/), [TGA](https://filab.fr/nos-moyens-techniques/laboratoire-analysis-atg/), [SEM-EDX](https://filab.fr/nos-moyens-techniques/laboratoire-d-analysis-par-microscopie-electronique-a-balayage-meb-edx/)…) are not an end in themselves, but a means to: Understand a complex chemical phenomenon Identify the source of a non-conformity Justify a quality or regulatory decision Optimize a formulation or a process ## A Scientific Partner for the Entire Value Chain Profile Objective / FILAB added value R&D / Innovation Understanding chemical interactions and optimizing formulations Production / Industrialization Resolving process deviations and securing manufacturing Quality / Control Verifying compliance and investigating non-conformities HSE / Regulatory Identifying risky substances and documenting compliance Purchasing / Supply Chain Qualifying a raw material or comparing suppliers ## Chemical analysis: understand before you decide A [chemical analysis](https://filab.fr/nos-prestations/analyse/analysis-chimiques/) is not limited to a result; it makes it possible to: - precisely characterize a substance or product - detect invisible anomalies - understand a behavior (instability, degradation, etc.) - validate regulatory compliance Whether it concerns a non-compliant raw material, an unstable product, or an unknown contamination, the challenge is always the same: turn uncertainty into **actionable data for decision-making** ## Scientific expertise in the service of industrial performance The role of the FILAB laboratory goes beyond that of a simple service provider. It is a **technical partner** capable of: - securing your market launches - reducing quality risks - making your processes more reliable - accelerating your R&D projects - supporting your decisions with scientific evidence ## Our FAQ When should you call on a chemical analysis laboratory? - Product non-conformity - Appearance of a defect (odor, instability, precipitate, etc.) - Change of supplier or formulation - Regulatory requirement - Production issue What is the difference between analysis and expertise? - **Analysis**: provides a result - **Expertise**: interprets and explains that result - **R&D**: proposes a suitable solution Can an unknown contamination be identified? Yes. Analytical techniques make it possible to identify trace compounds and trace them back to their source. How do I get a quote from FILAB?
