Raw Material Testing

Raw material testing in pharmaceuticals is an important part of your drug development and manufacturing process. By testing raw materials to verify they are suitable for their intended use, you prevent production delays, minimize risk, and help ensure product quality.

BA Sciences (BA), a qualified cGMP compliant pharmaceutical raw material testing lab, performs USP, EP, BP, JP and NF testing, offering a complete compendial testing verification solution.

Our experienced analysts can perform testing for all phases of CMC drug development through release testing. Whether you need raw material analysis or finished product testing, BA Sciences has developed protocols with your expectations in mind. We offer wet chemistry, instrumental analysis, release testing and stability testing. We are FDA registered, DEA licensed, cGMP compliant, and ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited.

There are many reasons why pharmaceutical raw material testing is a critical component of the product development process. Most importantly, FDA regulations requireraw material identity testing as well as verification of their purity and quality. In addition, USP raw material testing and other methods help determine the attributes of ingredients, which can determine whether the end product will have unintended side effects. Raw material testing also provides valuable insight into supplier and vendor qualification, helping manufacturers confirm the reliability and suitability of their sourcing partners.

Samples must be collected in a clean and controlled environment to ensure they are not contaminated. This prevents the risk of false positives and other complications that can skew the results.

What needs to be tested?

All ingredients of a pharmaceutical product, including excipients and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, must be tested.

How long does the testing process take?

Testing can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. This depends on the complexity of the product being tested as well as the testing methods required.
