Surface Analytical Services

Modern methods of surface chemical characterisation play an important role in the study and development of pharmaceutical and medical products.

Issues investigated include:

• Coating conformation
• Coating integrity determination
• Contamination analysis and quantification
• Monitoring molecular diffusion and protein and cell adsorption
• Auditing medical device production
• Cleanliness assessment of products, process equipment and materials, and product packaging
• Evaluation of product and packaging stability and sterilization (and product - packaging compatibility)
• Optimisation and acceleration of new product development
• Effective evaluation of the critical interactions between products, plant equipment and packaging throughout the manufacturing process and the entire product life cycle.
