State-of-the-Art
Instrumentation and Capabilities

image-10

All work performed by Quantum utilizes state-of-the-art instrumentation with an extensive range of analytical techniques and instrumental capabilities. 

Our laboratory provides analytical testing in support of development through manufacturing. This includes method development, validation, raw materials and excipients testing, in-process and release testing, stability testing, extractables and leachables, as well as for both organic and inorganic impurities, contaminants and unknowns.

Our facility provides extensive laboratory capabilities and advanced scientific tools, allowing us to provide innovative, cost-effective and timely scientific solutions. Our facility is fully cGMP, GLP and QMS compliant, and our instruments undergo periodic calibration, qualification, validation, and preventive maintenance to assure ongoing compliance with cGMP and GLP regulations. All computerized systems are compliant with 21 CFR Part 11.
