Micron Technologies’ Quality Control Lab supports operations with numerous state of the art analytical techniques located on site to provide "real time" data. This allows decisions to be made during processing, saving valuable time, assuring quality of the drug substance and maintaining project timelines.

We offer Particle Size Analysis, which is probably one of the most important techniques and  is conducted using laser diffraction (Malvern or Sympatec) systems. We also offer  Wet and Dry analysis  with histograms for each sample analyzed,  Method Development and Validation which is recommended once a product reaches phase 2 in the clinic, and microscopy to assess the compound before and after the micronization process. Microscopy is also used for troubleshooting in support of particle size.

All materials entering our plants will undergo identification testing via FTIR and is subjected to cleaning recovery studies to comply with the 100% cleaning verification program.

Other techniques available upon request:

• Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC)

• Surface Area Analysis by BET

• X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD)

• HPLC & GC
