Cambrex is a leading global supplier of more than 70 generic APIs, as well as intermediates and derivatives.
Measuring and describing the properties of a material play an essential role from early development to quality control processes during production. You need material characterization to collect polymorph data showing that your API exhibits the intended behavior. You also need to identify drug product excipients to ensure batch consistency.
While good material characterization will identify and resolve process-related problems, inadequate material characterization can lead to unreliable product quality. This can manifest as inconsistent results during a clinical trial, leading to missed milestone targets from out-of-specification results at release or on stability. In production, this deficiency may require a complete redesign of the process.
The methods used to study and characterize your small or large molecule are complex. At Cambrex, our team of experts has the technical experience to run sophisticated analyses and the expertise to interpret the results. Your molecule is our mission.
Looking for a partner that balances passion with painstaking attention to detail? Speak to one of our characterization experts about how we can help you succeed.
Our material characterization capabilities include:
Characterize loss of mass, phase transitions, melting points, stability and purity analysis using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
Analyze particle size using laser diffraction to ensure that active and excipient materials maintain expected processing and performance characteristics.
Detect, identify and quantify polymorph impurities (polymorphic screening) in support of process chemistry, API manufacturing, release and stability, using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD).
Test for elemental impurities using redundant inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (ICP-MS), with microwave digestion available.
Cambrex and Q1 Scientific’s stability storage and sample management capabilities serve the Pharmaceutical, Medical Device and Life Sciences industries, with locations across North America and Europe. We offer long-term storage and analysis of reference standards to ensure a consistent, high-quality supply for your needs.
Extractables and leachables (“E&L”) studies are an essential component of regulatory filing to demonstrate product safety. Depending on the container-closure system or medical device being evaluated, E&L studies can be very complex. Choosing a CDMO with expertise is critical to successful delivery of robust E&L data that you can trust.
Rigorous, effective analytical testing is key in the drug development lifecycle. Because this testing is used to verify control of drug chemistry, it can help identify barriers that prevent movement to the next phase in the development process. That’s why it’s critical to have efficient, accurate and high-quality analytical support for your testing requirements.
