Analysis of Foreign Particles in Pharmaceutical Powders

A central requirement in the production of pharmaceutical products is the avoidance of visible foreign particles. Our testing laboratory has developed innovative yet simple methods to reliably quantify foreign particles in pharmaceutical powders.

We Support Voluntary Service in South Africa

Lena Heneka, our former holiday help, will start her voluntary service in South Africa in August. We are happy to support Lena's mission and wish her a lot of fun and many interesting experiences in South Africa!

Erroneous Detection of Metallic Particles by Light Microscopy

The identification of metallic particles is an important requirement in cleanliness analysis. In recent years, the light-optical detection of metallic particles has commonly been performed by the means of gloss. On the basis of our laboratory experience, we have found that the light microscopic analysis often leads to incorrect typifications, which can be easily avoided by a material analysis using SEM-EDX.
