Pharmaceutical & Biotech Testing

Pharmaceutical & Biotech Analytical Testing

Raw-material identity, in-process QC, endotoxin and mycoplasma screening, elemental impurities, and finished-product release testing — with documentation your auditors will accept.

A Contract Lab That Keeps Your Batches Moving

From incoming raw materials to final release, IAS gives pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers the analytical depth — and the turnaround — to keep production on schedule and inspectors satisfied.

Whether you are qualifying a new excipient supplier, investigating an out-of-spec result, or running routine release testing, our chemists work alongside your QC team rather than behind a portal.

Standard analyses carry catalog pricing, repeat submissions are simple once an account is open, and one-off investigations are always welcome.

  • Raw-material identity & purity verification by NMR and FTIR
  • Bacterial endotoxin (LAL) and mycoplasma screening
  • Elemental impurities to ICH Q3D / USP <232>&<233> by ICP-MS
  • USP purified water & water-for-injection system monitoring
  • In-process checks and finished-product release testing

Instrumentation

The Instruments Behind Pharma Release

ICP-MS
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry

Detects and quantifies trace and ultra-trace metals down to parts-per-trillion levels.

For pharma QC: elemental impurity panels to USP <232>/<233> on drug substance, excipients and process water
NMR
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Determines molecular structure and confirms compound identity.

For pharma QC: structural confirmation and identity of APIs, intermediates and reference standards
FTIR
Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

Identifies organic & inorganic compounds through molecular fingerprinting.

For pharma QC: incoming raw-material identity verified against your specification
How it works

From Batch Sample to Release Decision

No formal account is required to send your first sample for evaluation.

1

Tell Us What You Need

Call or email with a description of what you're testing and what you're looking for. Not sure which test? We'll help you figure it out.

2

We Handle the Logistics

We tell you exactly what to collect, how to collect it, and how to ship it — and we'll supply the bottles and collection materials if you need them.

3

We Analyze & Report

Your sample is logged, analyzed by our experienced team, and results are delivered clearly — with context whenever you need it.

No Account Required to Start

Submit a one-time sample with zero setup. Need ongoing testing? We'll open an account that makes repeat submissions simple.

Free Consultation Included

Our chemists and chemical engineers will walk through your situation and help you design the right approach — at no charge.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you perform USP <232>/<233> elemental impurities testing?

Yes. We run ICH Q3D elemental impurity panels by ICP-MS on drug substances, excipients, finished products and process water, with reporting against your established permitted daily exposures.

Can you support a release-testing program with recurring submissions?

Absolutely. Many pharmaceutical clients run scheduled release and stability-support testing with us. We open a simple account so repeat submissions and reporting stay consistent.

Do you handle bacterial endotoxin (LAL) and mycoplasma?

Yes — kinetic and gel-clot LAL endotoxin testing and mycoplasma screening to support biologics, sterile products and medical-device clients.

Can you develop a method for a non-compendial impurity?

We do. Custom method development and validation support is part of our routine work, including non-compendial impurities and difficult matrices.

Is an account required to send a single sample?

No. You can submit a one-time sample for investigation or qualification without opening an account.

Custom & flexible work

Beyond the Compendium

Method transfer, a non-compendial impurity, a stubborn excipient matrix, or a deviation investigation — we develop and run custom analytical methods for pharma and biotech, and you can send a single sample without ever opening an account.
