Instrumentation and Analytical Laboratory

  • Chemical testing and analysis is vital for regulatory compliance and to understand the quality and composition of chemical substances and materials that are used in Biological products, during manufacturing processes. Specialist knowledge and expertise in applying the most relevant methodology are the keys to successful chemical testing. Advanced analytical instrumentation or a combination of techniques is necessary to solve problems or determine composition.
