Raw Materials and Excipients Testing

Excipients are inactive ingredients included in pharmaceutical formulations to enhance the drug’s stability and performance and are part of the final drug product. Their quality assessment and control are crucial. If excipients or raw materials lack quality or are contaminated, drug safety and effectiveness can be compromised, resulting in patient harm.

From characterization, impurity analysis, and release testing to stability analysis and more, Waters integrated systems, software, columns, and expert support help overcome detection limitations in excipients and raw materials analysis. Through every stage of testing— assay and composition analysis, stability and impurity analysis, and release testing— Waters solutions help you identify contamination risks and understand degradation sources, ensuring the highest standards in product quality control and safety.
