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.
- Instrumentation and Analytical Laboratory of CDL, Kasauli is
equipped with a wide range of techniques and instrumentation to
meet any chemical analysis challenge or requirement for Quality
Control of the Immunobiologicals. The Laboratory has been
established for Biochemical Quality Control testing of all the
Vaccines and Antisera indigenously produced, distributed and
imported into the country
-
The laboratory performs the testing protocols according
to the standard methodologies as per the specifications of Indian
Pharmacopoeia, European Pharmacopoeia and WHO recommendations.
- The laboratory performs the testing protocols according to
the standard methodologies as per the specifications of Indian
Pharmacopoeia, European Pharmacopoeia and WHO recommendations.
- Our analytical testing laboratory is staffed with highly
trained and experienced personnel skilled in performing analysis on
a wide variety of Biological products (Bacterial, Viral, Antisera).
