GMP compliant Validation Services – Pharma and Biotech


Analytical Method

The main responsibility of the quality control unit is to validate the manufacturing process and to oversee product quality procedures. The quality control unit is responsible for setting up and implementing validation and qualification operations and for carrying out a quality control program.

Chemically synthesized drugs can be characterized with precision and accuracy by widely accepted chemical and physical analytical methods.

Biopharmaceuticals, however, are complex macromolecules derived from recombinant DNA technology. Regarding the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals, the control of their quality, safety and efficacy in terms of “batch-to-batch” consistency is more complex and sophisticated.
