For both categories manufacturers must eliminate, or minimise, potential health risks to patients related to microorganisms and the toxins they produce, whilst maintaining product quality. Many contributing factors may affect the quality of a medicine or…

Application of LCMS in small-molecule drug development

24 August 2016 | By , ,

As a technology, mass spectrometry (MS) has evolved to the point where it is used throughout the drug development process. In particular, when MS is coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) it adds an orthogonal detection function for sample analysis and provides unique capabilities for pharmaceutical analysis, such as sensitivity,…
