Analytical method development & validation

Our analytical services ensure compliance with the most up-to-date USP guidance as well as the rigor of revised regulatory guidance such as ICH and ASTM. Utilizing scientifically justified decisions, methods are developed following a risk-based approach encompassing the life cycle of your product and intended use. We have supported the development and validation of 300+ methods.   

Raw material testing

Our raw material testing services are adapted to your needs, helping you verify the safety and quality of your product. We execute most USP compendial testing and use a variety of analytical methods and tests, tailored to your unique concerns and considerations specific to your product.

Stability testing & storage

To ensure safety and meet regulatory requirements, your stability testing services characterize your product’s shelf life under diverse conditions. We have the following conditions available for ICH storage: -20° C, 5° C, 25° C/60% RH, 25° C/75%RH, 30° C/65%RH, 30° C/75%RH, and 40° C/75%RH as well as temperature cycling. Other conditions available upon request to meet the unique needs of your product.  

Our state-of-the-art laboratories and experienced scientists are equipped to handle all aspects of stability studies: 

  • Real-time, accelerated, and intermediate stability studies following regulatory, ICH guidelines, and custom protocols  
  • Advanced environmental chambers calibrated for various temperature and humidity conditions  
  • Continuous monitoring utilizing the latest technology  
  • Robust analytical testing to accurately assess the stability characteristics of your products  

Extractables & leachables testing

Compounds from your combination product’s container closure system, delivery system, containment system and packaging that leach into your drug product can be a safety risk. Kindeva uses a wide range of analytical equipment, including GC, GC/MS, headspace GC/MS, UPLC, and high-resolution accurate mass (HRAM) LC/MS/MS, to identify and quantify extractable and leachable compounds.
