Pharmaceutical Raw Material Testing Services

Pharmaceutical raw materials testing is a key step in the drug development and manufacturing process. Raw materials should be tested to verify that they are suitable for their intended use, and to prevent production delays and problems.

In addition, the FDA requires raw materials be tested for identity as well as verification of their purity and quality. USP raw material testing guidances and other methods help determine the attributes of ingredients, which can determine whether the end product will have unintended side effects. An additional important reason for raw material testing is to inform manufacturers as to whether or not their sources and vendors are qualified.
