Analyses of highly potent substances

Analyses of highly potent substances are carried out in our Highly Potent Substance Laboratory for. The laboratory consists of several laboratories, a hygienic zone and is completely autonomous in regard to personnel and equipment. It can be used independently on other projects and with special regard to safety. Analyses of highly potent substances comprise a large part of the capacity of the Department of pharmaceutical analyses and we have been successfully operating it for several years.

Analytical support for validating the production process

Validations of the production process of a dosage form are one of the most important parts of the production process under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). The production process must also be validated within this practice. This process produces a large number of samples that must be analysed by approved and validated methods. The capacity of analytical laboratories of a given pharmaceutical producers may sometimes be limited and Quinta can then help and analyse such samples.

Our laboratory can also be used to carry out analyses of samples from cleaning processes during the production (air filters, rinsing liquors, etc.). Highly advanced equipment such as HPLC and LC/MS are used for these operations.

Quality control, release analyses

Quality control within GMP is an integral part of pharmaceutical production. Although Quinta‑Analytica does not have a pharmaceutical production line, it holds the GMP certificate and a production license.

This allows our company to perform quality control as well as analytical testing of batches for release – release testing. This means testing of products designed for the EU market that must be so-called "released" to EU countries.

Quinta-Analytica has been a well-known and established company performing testing of release batches that were produced outside of the EU - "import testing". We conduct such testing even for the world's largest pharmaceutical manufacturers.

In-vitro studies

In-vitro studies complement and, sometimes, might even replace human In-vivo PK studies in assessing Bioequivalence of the drugs. Quinta offers various types of Dissolution Apparatuses (App I, II, IV) for not only classic in-vitro study but also in-vitro-in-vivo correlation studies. Besides of this, Quinta can perform also experiments using Franz diffussion cell which is very efficient tool for IVPT/IVRT tests.

Analyses of inhalation products

Quinta-Analytica provides testing of inhalation products administered by inhalers for dry powders. Our special laboratory with controlled rooms (temperature and humidity) performs analyses of such products in accordance with Pharmacopoea Bohemica and Ph. Eur. monograph Preparations for inhalation 2.9.18 and 0671, Inhalanda.

Second Lab in Brno, CZ

In order to satisfy growing needs of our clients for the testing of highly potent substances and drugs, we established new laboratory in Brno (see here), fully designed for the handling with such materials. This laboratory with the area of about 500m2 allows us significant increase of our laboratory capacity while testing of highly potent materials.
