ID of foreign particles

Expert identification of foreign particles in pharmaceuticals

Foreign particles in pharmaceutical products?

Identifying foreign particles in pharmaceutical products is critical to maintaining product quality, product stability and enhance safety. Foreign particles can lead to product recall and affect brand reputation.

Contaminants or unexpected solid phase separation can compromise the integrity of the product, leading to potential health risks and regulatory non-compliance. Understanding the origin and nature of these particles is essential for implementing corrective actions and preventing recurrence.

Our experts can tell you more about our foreign particle identification services and how we can assist you in maintaining impeccable product standards.
