Element’s chemical characterization testing and analysis help to confirm the identity and composition of chemical substances and materials used in your pharmaceutical products.
A thorough understanding of the type and quantity of the chemical constituents of a material is the first step to ensuring product quality. Chemical testing is also vital for contaminant detection and residue analysis, formulation and de-formulation, QC analysis, and failure investigations.
Our chemical analysis laboratories house a wide array of analytical equipment, including advanced spectroscopy systems, and our team of chemists is highly-trained and skilled at applying a combination of chemical characterization techniques to assist with the analysis.
Our analyzing methods provide a comprehensive chemical characterization of substances and materials, ensuring the safety and therapeutic effect of the final product. Our areas of expertise include:
- Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy
- Near-Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy
- Raman spectroscopy
- Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
- Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS)
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
