The primary goal of our testing is to ensure that radiopharmaceuticals meet stringent quality standards, thereby enhancing patient safety and efficacy. Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment and methodologies to conduct these tests with precision and accuracy.
Our service involves a series of meticulous steps, starting from the procurement of raw materials up to final product release. This process ensures that every batch is thoroughly tested for purity, stability, and homogeneity. The testing procedure includes several stages: sample preparation, chemical analysis, radiochemical purification, quality control checks, and detailed reporting.
One of the key aspects of our service is adhering strictly to ISO 29663 standards. This ensures that we maintain high-quality benchmarks in all our tests. Our team of experts ensures that each step of the process aligns with these rigorous guidelines, from the initial raw material acquisition to final product release.
For quality managers and compliance officers, understanding the intricacies of ISO 29663 is crucial for ensuring that your radiopharmaceutical products meet regulatory requirements. Our service not only helps in meeting these standards but also ensures that you are compliant with international best practices. This is particularly important given the critical nature of radiopharmaceuticals.
Our team works closely with R&D engineers to ensure that new formulations and processes comply with ISO 29663. For procurement teams, our service offers assurance that every batch procured meets the highest standards. By adhering strictly to these protocols, we contribute significantly to maintaining patient safety and efficacy.

Applied Standards
The application of ISO 29663 ensures that all tests conducted are aligned with international best practices. This standard provides a detailed framework for the radiochemical purity assessment of radiopharmaceuticals, including Samarium-153.
One of the key aspects of this standard is the focus on precision and accuracy in testing methods. The ISO 29663 protocol emphasizes the use of validated analytical techniques to ensure that results are reliable and reproducible. This is particularly important for radiopharmaceuticals, which require high levels of purity to be effective and safe.
Another critical component of this standard is the emphasis on quality control measures at every stage of production. This includes strict adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines. By following these protocols, we ensure that all batches are consistently produced under controlled conditions, leading to higher quality products.
The ISO 29663 standard also highlights the importance of regular calibration and validation of instruments used in testing. This ensures that results are accurate and consistent across multiple tests. We use only the most advanced equipment and regularly calibrate them to ensure they meet the highest standards.
Lastly, the standard emphasizes ongoing training for personnel involved in production and testing processes. This helps maintain a high level of expertise within our team, ensuring that all tests are conducted with the utmost precision and accuracy.

Scope and Methodology
The scope of our ISO 29663 radiochemical testing service is comprehensive, covering all critical steps from raw material procurement to final product release. We ensure that every batch undergoes rigorous testing to meet the highest standards of purity, stability, and homogeneity.
Our methodology involves several key stages: sample preparation, chemical analysis, radiochemical purification, quality control checks, and detailed reporting. Each stage is meticulously planned and executed to ensure accuracy and reliability.
In the initial step, raw materials are carefully selected based on their purity and consistency. This ensures that only high-quality starting materials are used in our production process. Once procured, these materials undergo thorough chemical analysis to confirm their identity and purity.
The next stage involves radiochemical purification, which is critical for removing impurities and ensuring the radiopharmaceutical meets required specifications. This step requires precise handling of radioactive materials, adhering strictly to safety protocols to prevent contamination or exposure risks.
Following purification, quality control checks are conducted rigorously. These checks include physical properties testing, chemical analysis, and radiochemical purity assessment. The results from these tests provide a comprehensive overview of the product's characteristics, ensuring that it meets all regulatory requirements.
The final stage involves detailed reporting of test results. This report includes all relevant data from each step of the process, providing clear insights into the quality and safety profile of the radiopharmaceutical. It serves as a valuable tool for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams to make informed decisions.
| Scope | Description |
|---|---|
| Raw material procurement | Selecting high-quality starting materials based on purity and consistency. |
| Chemical analysis | Confirming the identity and purity of raw materials through detailed analysis. |
| Radiochemical purification | Removing impurities to ensure radiopharmaceutical meets required specifications. |
| Quality control checks | Rigorously checking physical properties, chemical analysis, and radiochemical purity. |
