Genotoxic Impurity Assessment by LC MS Testing
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, ensuring product safety is paramount. One critical aspect of this is the identification and quantification of genotoxic impurities present in drug substances or finished products. Genotoxic compounds have the potential to cause DNA damage, leading to mutations that can result in cancer. Therefore, their presence must be minimized during development and production phases.
Our service offering, Genotoxic Impurity Assessment by LC MS Testing, utilizes state-of-the-art Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) technology to comprehensively analyze and quantify even trace levels of genotoxic impurities. This method provides high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy required for regulatory compliance.
The process involves several key steps: sample preparation, extraction, chromatographic separation, mass spectrometric detection, and data analysis. Initially, the sample is extracted using appropriate solvents followed by cleanup procedures to remove potential interferences. The purified extract undergoes LC-MS analysis where compounds are separated based on their retention times and then identified through mass-to-charge ratios.
The method adheres strictly to international standards like ISO 15924 for chromatographic methods in pharmaceutical analysis. Additionally, this service supports compliance with guidelines from regulatory bodies such as the US FDA, EMA, and ICH Q3D(R1). These standards ensure that our results are reliable and can be used confidently by your organization.
To achieve robust analytical data, we employ experienced scientists who utilize advanced LC-MS instruments equipped with high-resolution mass spectrometers. This allows us to detect even minute quantities of impurities which could otherwise go undetected using less sensitive techniques.
Our team also provides detailed reports summarizing the findings along with recommendations for any necessary corrective actions if genotoxic compounds are detected above acceptable limits. These insights help you make informed decisions regarding process improvements and quality assurance measures to maintain product safety standards.
In summary, our LC-MS-based genotoxic impurity assessment service leverages cutting-edge technology to deliver precise, reproducible results that meet stringent regulatory requirements. By partnering with us, you gain access to expert knowledge and resources needed to ensure your pharmaceutical products are safe from harmful contaminants.
