Clinical Trial LC MS MS Bioanalysis Testing
Our Clinical Trial LC MS MS Bioanalysis Testing service is a critical component in the development and approval of new pharmaceuticals. This service supports the rigorous analytical requirements necessary for ensuring drug efficacy, safety, and compliance with regulatory standards.
The process involves extensive sample preparation to ensure that bioanalytical data accurately reflects the concentration and pharmacokinetics of the test compound within biological matrices such as blood, plasma, or urine. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is a powerful analytical technique used for this purpose.
Our service ensures precision and accuracy in quantifying target analytes across various phases of clinical trials. This includes Phase I, II, III, and IV studies where the safety and efficacy of new drugs are evaluated. LC-MS/MS is particularly useful due to its high sensitivity and selectivity, which allows for accurate detection even at low concentrations.
Our expertise in this area ensures that our clients receive reliable data necessary for regulatory submissions. We adhere strictly to international standards such as ICH Q3D(E6) guidelines, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Our team of professionals works closely with clients to understand their specific needs and deliver tailored solutions.
Our service includes the following components:
- Sample preparation
- LC-MS/MS instrumentation
- Data analysis and interpretation
- Compliance with regulatory standards (ICH Q3D(E6))
- Reporting of results
