Research and Development laboratories deal every day with analytical activities concerning revisions, development, validation of methods of food, environmental, packaging, cosmetic and pharmaceutical divisions. Knowledge, professionalism, high technological level, technical scientific specialization and cutting-edge equipment makes of Chelab a vanguard laboratory for the production of precise methods and for the proposal of concrete and trustable analytical services for the technical - scientific consulting.
Chemical - physical laboratory
R&S activity and the validation of methods are performed by expert and qualified technicians and thanks to cutting - edge equipment.
The services of development and validation of analytical methods include analysis related to different types of molecules (active principles, residues and contaminants, metals and speciation, products from degradation and impurities) dealing with the different field of analysis of Chelab (food, environmental, packaging, cosmetic and pharmaceutical).
The laboratories are provided with cutting-edge equipment for the resolution of the different requests by the complete range of analytical techniques (GC, GC/MS, GC/MS/MS, HPLC, LC/MS, LC/SM/MS, AA, ICP, FT-IR, IC, etc)..
The activities of validation of methods are scheduled and performed in compliance with the International regulations related to the different sectors (ISO 17025, ICH, EP, USP, FDA, etc).
The optimization of methods based on traditional liquid chromatography techniques (HPLC) can be performed thanks to the development and validation of alternative methods UPLC/MS/MS (Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography), which permits the reduction of time of answer until 3-4 times respect to the traditional HPLC and improves the significance and sensibility.
Thanks to UPLC-ESI-TOF systems and a computer-based liquid chromatography equipped with UV and MS (HPLC-Prep-UV-MS), we are able to perform ad-hoc studies for the characterization and identification of unknown molecules (for example: impurities).
Laboratory of biology
The laboratory supports the pharmaceutical companies both in Research & Development phase and in the production of new medicinal and bio-hygienizing products.
In particular:
- Consulting for the development, validation or transfer of procedures
- RNA isolation
- Collaboration in studies of genic expression (for the analytical part)
- Analysis in RT PCR
- Obtaining of cDNA (complementary DNA)
- Molecular markers
- Bioanalytical cytofluorometry (for the part of bioequivalence)
- Validation of alternative methods
- Development and validation of methods for customers
