01

Challenges in the pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical research and manufacturing face a demanding set of requirements:

  • Ensuring the accuracy and repeatability of analytical results.
  • Controlling the quality of incoming materials and finished products.
  • Detecting impurities, degradation products and residues.
  • Meeting pharmacopoeial standards and quality-management requirements.
  • Maintaining the stability of test methods.
  • Ensuring traceability of chemicals and reference standards.
  • Minimising error during sampling, sample preparation and analysis.
  • Optimising testing time and laboratory operating cost.

The right solution helps a business control quality more effectively while also reducing risk, improving throughput and keeping the whole production process stable.

  • Analytical chemicals and reagents
  • Acids, bases and buffer solutions
  • Chemicals for sample preparation
  • Reagents for titration
  • Chemicals for microbiological analysis
  • Chemicals for research and formulation development

Products are selected at an appropriate purity level, limiting contamination, reducing background signal and improving the stability of analytical results.

2. Pharmaceutical reference standards

Reference standards are central to identification, quantification, method validation and purity assessment of raw materials and finished products. QEMIX supplies:

  • Active-substance reference standards
  • Impurity reference standards
  • Degradation-product reference standards
  • Residual-solvent reference standards
  • Reference standards for chromatographic analysis
  • Reference standards for stability studies
  • Reference standards to pharmacopoeial monographs
  • Certified reference standards matched to each application

Product information is provided clearly, helping customers select the correct standard for their test method and intended use.

3. Incoming raw-material testing

Raw-material quality bears directly on the safety, efficacy and stability of a pharmaceutical product. The QEMIX raw-material testing solutions support:

  • Identification of raw materials
  • Purity testing
  • Assay of the active substance
  • Analysis of related impurities
  • Moisture and water-content testing
  • Determination of metals and trace elements
  • Residual-solvent testing
  • Physicochemical and microbiological parameters

These solutions apply to active substances, excipients, solvents, biological materials and other components used in manufacturing.

4. Finished-product testing

QEMIX supplies products and solutions for testing a wide range of dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, oral solutions, injections, eye drops, creams and ointments, syrups, powders and granules, biological products, and health supplements.

Common test parameters include:

  • Identification and assay of the active substance
  • Dissolution and release testing
  • Content uniformity
  • Related impurities
  • Degradation products
  • Residual solvents
  • Water content
  • Microbial limits
  • Sterility
  • Bacterial endotoxins
  • Product stability

5. Chromatography solutions

Chromatography is among the most important analytical techniques in a pharmaceutical testing laboratory. QEMIX supplies products for HPLC, UHPLC, GC, LC-MS, GC-MS and TLC.

The solution catalogue includes chromatography solvents, columns, sample vials and caps, sample filtration membranes, syringe filters, calibration standards, system wash and maintenance solutions, and consumables for chromatographic instruments. Using the right chemicals, columns and consumables improves separation, increases sensitivity and extends instrument life.

6. Sample preparation and handling

Sample preparation has a large influence on the accuracy of a test result. QEMIX supports weighing and dosing, grinding and homogenisation, filtration, extraction, centrifugation, concentration, sample clean-up, solid-phase extraction (SPE), sterile filtration, and sample storage and transport. A well-matched preparation procedure reduces error, limits contamination and improves method stability.

7. Microbiological control in pharmaceuticals

Microbiological control is a critical requirement for raw materials, the production environment and finished products. QEMIX supplies products for:

  • Total microbial count testing
  • Yeast and mould testing
  • Detection of indicator organisms
  • Sterility testing
  • Endotoxin testing
  • Environmental microbiological monitoring
  • Quality testing of water used in production
  • Surface and equipment hygiene control

Products may include culture media, membranes, Petri dishes, sampling devices, sterile consumables and rapid test solutions.

8. Water solutions for pharmaceutical manufacturing

Water is an important input in many pharmaceutical manufacturing and testing processes. QEMIX supports testing of purified water, water for injection, laboratory water, water feeding production systems, and water after treatment.

Parameters may include conductivity, total organic carbon, pH, microorganisms, endotoxins, metals and elements, and organic and inorganic contaminants. Monitoring water quality regularly helps a business detect risk early and keep its production system stable.

03
