Physical & Chemical Testing

Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing Italy offers tests for chemical and physical properties of substances and mixtures, according to many regulations such as REACH Regulations (1907/2006) and CLP (1272/2008) and according to the EU Biocides Regulation No. 528/2012, American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), EPA (AOAC) Aand Food and Drugs Administration (FDA). Products are tested in compliance with OECD and OPPTS guidelines, CIPAC methods and other methods.

We offer a full suite of physical and chemical analyses required to characterize active ingredients, product components, and degradants of products. Our laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation including ICP, AAS, GC MS, HPLC, DSC, IR, UV.

Our testing solutions  meet regulatory guidelines based on your formulation  which may include storage stability or QC testing, or may just be a one off stand-alone study. We conduct our product development studies in response to chemical and physical analysis requirements for product chemistry according to Good Laboratory Practices (GLP).
