  IPC & QC Testing
  The role of Quality Control is to ensure that only products meeting all the required standards and specifications are released from our facility. To establish this guarantee, analytical tests are performed on the raw materials, process intermediates and final active pharmaceutical ingredients. Our scientists are skilled in chromatographic techniques and use high pressure liquid and gas chromatographs to determine the purity of known and unknown components in the drugs. Other types of analysis and instrumentation include: infrared spectroscopy, Karl Fisher titration, bulk density analysis, BET surface area analysis, particle size analysis and wet chemistry techniques. The results obtained from these tests are compared to previously assigned limits and must comply with these limits in order to be deemed acceptable for use.
The In-Process Control Lab provides around-the-clock analytical support to our manufacturing processes by performing testing per established methods to ensure Manufacturing processes are running within allowable parameters. This testing predominantly consists of performing chromatographic analysis on process streams, but also may include other analytical techniques such as UV-Vis, FTIR, IMS and wet chemistry.  It also includes testing of non-routine samples designed to monitor mass balances, environmental monitoring, support process improvements and process troubleshooting.
