# Laboratory characterisation of small molecules

In the [pharmaceutical](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/analysis-industry-pharmaceuticals.md) world, the **characterisation of small molecules** plays an essential role in guaranteeing the safety, quality and efficacy of treatments.

Whether for the development of new drugs or for quality control of existing products, accurate and comprehensive analysis is essential.

Our laboratory specialises in the characterisation of small molecules, offering a full range of services tailored to each stage of your product’s life cycle.

## Our small molecule characterisation services

Using [state-of-the-art technologies](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources.md) and a team of experts, we analyse the physical and chemical properties of your small molecules in depth. We provide a detailed understanding of critical quality attributes (CQAs) to support your research, development and regulatory compliance programmes.

 Chemical analysi
Identification and quantification of active ingredients, impurities and excipients using advanced techniques such as liquid chromatography[(LC](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/health-pharmaceutical-cosmetics/liquid-chromatography-lc-analysis-for-the-pharmaceutical-industry.md)), mass spectrometry[(MS](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-mass-spectrometry.md)) and nuclear magnetic resonance[(NMR](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-nmr.md)).

 Physical characterisatio
Precise measurement of size, molecular weight, thermal stability and solubility, key elements in determining the bioavailability and optimal formulation of small molecules.

 Purity tests
we assess the purity of small molecules to detect any impurities or contamination that could affect the efficacy and safety of the finished product.
