BASIC FORMULATION CHARACTERIZATION

A comprehensive understanding of your drug product formulation

A comprehensive understanding of your drug product formulation

A biopharmaceutical formulation is a high-end product. It is tailored towards the specific drug substance, its specific characteristics and degradation profiles, and contains stabilizing excipients of various kinds. Knowing the characteristics of a biopharmaceutical formulation is not only relevant during the formulation exercise itself, but also when manufacturing aspects come into play.

Transfer of a formulation from a research laboratory to a manufacturing site is a critical step during product development. Here, a thorough understanding of the formulation characteristics can ensure a smooth transition and reduce further formulation development efforts. Coriolis performs a comprehensive analysis of all key aspects of a formulation by using a broad spectrum of analytical techniques. We employ state-of-the-art equipment and continuously evaluate and implement new systems for improved insights.

Generic and customized methods

From generic to custom analytical methods and beyond

We offer a large selection of generic analytical methods for many common applications or develop custom methods specific for your needs. Our expert scientists also perform a method feasibility to assess, which technique is most suitable for your request. We offer the following options:

Methods ready to use

Our expert scientists have established generic analytical methods for many common applications. This guarantees a quick turnaround for sample testing and reduces the need for method adjustments to a minimum. 

We suggest generic methods for your sample based on our many years of experience with similar products and analytical questions. If you reach a development stage, where fully developed and documented methods are required, we can build upon our expertise in customizing and optimizing any analytical method.

Method development

During method development, we tailor sample preparation, method settings, and data analysis to the needs of your project and sample.

For this purpose, we include a representative sample and, where available, suitable reference standards and stressed/degraded materials. This way, our analytical scientists can design a method that is highly suitable for your needs, stability indicating, as well as robust and repeatable. Upon request, we compile a detailed method description for your records.

Method qualification

A method qualification is the initial assessment of the performance of an analytical procedure to show that it is suitable for the intended purpose.

During method qualification, our analytical scientists perform documented testing to establish and assess acceptance criteria in several performance characteristics. These may include repeatability, linearity, intermediate precision, robustness and more. We compile a qualification plan and a qualification report including all relevant data.

Method validation

A method validation is the confirmation under highly controlled conditions that the performance of an analytical procedure is suitable for the intended purpose.

During method validation, our analytical scientists perform a documented testing, which demonstrates that the analytical procedure consistently produces a result that meets pre-determined acceptance criteria. We compile a validation plan and a validation report including all relevant data.
