Contract Analysis

ATG Scientific links with specialist Contract Research and Testing Laboratories for applications in:

• drug formulation development
• powder compaction/compression studies
• tableting processes
• surface science
• biomaterials
• biopharmaceutical analysis

Clients include many small and large pharmaceutical companies wishing to outsource certain testing requirements to a laboratory with particular expertise in areas such as drug substance characterisation and biophysical chemical behaviour.

Consultancy, analytical and testing services offered include:

• Tablet/Oral Solid Dosage R&D
  –   early phase work, pre-formulation, formulation development
  –   speeding up process optimisation and assessing manufacturability
  –   producing small batches of tablets for testing and clinical trials
• Stability Testing Solutions
  –   rapid, small-scale studies using ASAP modelling software
  –   accurately monitor humidity and temperature effects on materials
  –   forced degradation and stress testing investigations
• Materials Characterisation
  –   water (vapour) sorption measurements (DVS)
  –   thermal analysis (DSC, TGA)
  –   surface/interfacial tension, wettability and surface energy
• Biomolecular Interaction Analysis
  –   using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) instruments
  –   real-time, label-free measurements
  –   detect small molecules less than 100 Daltons
