Analytical Testing


Analytical testing of advanced therapeutic products is crucial for the successful development of genetic medicines. Comprehensive characterization of the drug product and drug substance during the preclinical through to the clinical stages is vital for understanding the biological effects as well as meeting the criteria set out by regulatory bodies around the world. The evolving field of analytical testing employs cutting-edge technologies to ensure quality and safety standards are met.
