With modern instrumental methods of analysis, we support our research partners from the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical technology in the development, evaluation and QC of their products.
We are looking for biomarkers for identify degradation products, measured release kinetics...
we analyze
- proteins and conjugates
- glycoproteins
- peptides, lipids, oligosaccharides, RNA, DNA, metabolites ..
- polymers,...
Services
Analytical services are individually tailored to the needs of our customers. Our services help customers to solve complex questions in their research and development faster and better on the basis of concrete analytical results. If required, analytical methods can also be developed for routine use in a regulated area (accreditation, GMP). In such projects, persons from the accredited department or from the NMI Technologietransfer GmbH (GMP Laboratory) are involved in the development of methods at an early stage so that the methods can later be used for quality controls, stability analyses or release analyses of products for clinical applications.
