Scope of testing
Every test runs to a written, validated method, with results traced back from the raw data and kept on record.
Our scope says exactly what we determine and how. It isn’t a third-party accreditation. Every result is traced from the raw data, and a certificate reports only the tests you asked for, on the technique stated.
Identity and make-up are confirmed with more than one independent method, so no single reading carries the whole conclusion.
What we accept
Tests & methods
| Test | Technique | Reported as |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | LC-MS (HRMS), FT-IR | Match to declared structure & mass |
| Purity & impurities | RP-HPLC-UV | Area percent |
| Content / assay | HPLC-UV | % of label, vs. reference standard |
| Water | Karl Fischer | % w/w |
| Counter-ion | Ion chromatography | % w/w |
| Residual solvents | GC | ppm |
| Metals & elements | ICP-MS / ICP-OES | ppm, element by element |
| Bacterial endotoxin | LAL | EU/mg or EU/mL |
Outside this list? We can often arrange custom work — describe the compound and the question first. Results apply to the material as we received it.
Tell us what you need to establish and we’ll confirm the scope before anything begins.
