Intertek ASG Laboratory, Manchester, UK

CMC Analytical Support:

Technology for Development of Biopharmaceuticals

Intertek ASG is able to provide a range of services in support of regulatory submissions for the development of biopharmaceuticals, specifically with regards to analytical method development and validation packages for CMC sections in IND (USA) or CTA (Europe) submissions. In addition to characterization of the main protein sequence and structure, molecular species studied for quantitation include a broad range of fermentation ingredients, bi-products from the fermentation process and bio-processing aids. Examples of these include antibiotics, protein denaturing agents, initiators for protein expression systems, protein folding catalysts and formulation aids for the final product. Methods are developed to ICH Q6B guidelines.
