Non-Volatile Organic Impurities

Impurity profiling is a critical quality control step in the production of pharmceuticals and biopharmaceuticals. This process is carefully regulated by bodies such as ICH & US FDA. ICH guidelines for impurities states that each impurity must be investigated with respect to both physicochemical and safety aspects. Structural characterization, quantification and reporting must be performed using suitable analytical procedures. Impurity profiling of organic impurities is typically performed using liquid chromatography (HPLC), mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR).

Get increased separation speed and resolution using the Thermo Scientific Vanquish UHPLC system with the ability to detect and quantify virtually any substance using the near-universal detection capabilities of Thermo Scientific Vanquish UHPLC Charged Aerosol Detectors. With enhanced linear dynamic range and accurate, consistent response, this detector can measure low-level impurities and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) simultaneously, as well as other compounds, regardless of chemical structure.
