ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY CAPABILITIES
Raw Materials Testing
Bionex offers comprehensive raw materials testing services to the pharmaceutical industry including
qualification of compendial methods, as well as development, qualification and validation of new methods.
Bionex performs testing for the release of the raw materials for production or vendors’ qualification
purpose. All tests are performed in accordance with USP/NF, BP, EP, JP, ACS and FCC methodologies/monographs,
as well as any client-supplied or vendor-defined methods.
Finished Products Testing
Bionex offers full release or client selected testing for any type of formulation/dosage form. Bionex Analytical
Chemistry Group has a broad range of experience in performing tests for in-process materials as well as finished
products using either compendial methods or client supplied in-house methods. If necessary, Bionex will also offer
method validation, verification, and transfer of the test methods in compliance with ICH and FDA regulatory requirements.
The tests for finished products include, but are not limited to:
- Physical Testing
- Dissolution Testing
- Content/Blend Uniformity
- Assay
- Related Substances
- Preservatives (for liquid dosage form)
Stability Testing and Storage
Bionex provides secure storage and stability testing of bio/pharmaceutical samples according to client specified
procedures and stability protocols. Our stability chambers are setup per ICH guidelines at the storage conditions
of 25°C/60%RH, 30°C/65%RH, and 40°C/75%RH. We . We can also set up stability conditions other than those specified by
ICH. Bionex also offers consulting services for preparation of stability protocols, and to develop, validate, or
transfer test methods for stability testing.
Impurities Testing
Impurities or related substances are usually required in testing for API release, finished product release and
stability testing of degradation products. In many circumstances, special efforts are to be taken to separate,
identify and quantify the impurities and related substances at certain levels satisfying the regulatory requirements.
Bionex staff has extensive experience in developing and validation the analytical methods to meet your impurity
testing needs.
The impurity testing includes, but is not limited to:
- Residual Solvents/Impurities by USP <467> or customized method
- Process Impurities/Related Compounds by compendial or customized method
- Degradation products by compendial or customized method
- Forced degradation study, identification and characterization of above limit degradation products
- Tracking and trending analysis of related substances in stability studies
METHOD DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION
Method Development
Bionex staffed analytical experts with extensive experience in analytical method development, troubleshooting
and validation. Our scientists have strong chemistry knowledge in combination of all chemical fields.
When developing or troubleshooting analytical methods, we will consider all effects in the method such as the
optimized separation conditions, selection of solvents to avoid any analyte-solvent interactions, solution
stability for both assay and related substances, filter study, specificity, and sensitivity.
Method Validation
Bionex performs method validation with either full cGMP compliance per ICH guidelines Q2(R1) and USP <1225> or
client directed partial validation, verification or transfer. Depending on the testing purpose of the methods,
the characteristics of the method to be validated include, but some are not necessarily required, system
suitability (an integral part of the method), accuracy, precision (repeatability and reproducibility),
specificity, linearity, detection and quantitation limits, and robustness (deliberate variation in method
conditions and solution stability). Bionex also performs method verification or transfer from or to
client’s laboratories.
