Analytical chemistry
Ludof Pharmaceutical Ltd has several state-of-the-art laboratories and a team of scientists with a combined 1,000 years of experience in its analytical chemistry department.
We offer a broad range of services at our analytical development laboratories to support our customers through the development and manufacturing process and get drugs to market as efficiently as possible.
Our team provides compatibility studies and physical characterisation starting with early pre-formulation. We then do the bioanalyses from the first clinical trials and support customers through formulation development ensuring our analytical methods are as robust as possible. We also design stability studies and help submit the results.
We partner with our customers for the full life cycle of the product and regularly perform follow-up stability analyses for big pharma product ranges. We also transfer the process to the final manufacturing site once methods are validated,
Our labs have different specialities which allows us to drive every project to market in the fastest, most cost-effective way.
