Explore analytical and bioanalytical technologies supporting pharmaceutical development and manufacturing, including chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, bioassays, method validation, impurity testing and sample preparation to ensure product quality, safety and regulatory compliance.
As biologic drug formats grow more sophisticated, scalable success depends on embedding manufacturability, analytics and quality thinking into molecular design from the very beginning of development.
When a nitrosamine drug substance-related impurity (NDSRI) is newly identified or increases above established control levels, opportunities for chemistry, manufacturing and control (CMC) mitigation may be limited. Toxicological assessment and impurity mitigation must therefore proceed in parallel. Alex Gauthier at Novartis reviews practical toxicological strategies for managing late-stage NDSRIs while maintaining patient safety and development timelines.
EPR’s 2026 nitrosamines report covers the key developments in manufacturing, quality, regulation, analytical development and beyond.
