iBET’s Analytical Services Unit (ASU) targets the chemical, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries

Our Analytical Services Unit (ASU) offers GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certified Services for chemical and biological products for human and veterinary use.

The GMP certification was granted to the Analytical Services Unit (ASU) in 2013 under the Art. 40 of Directive 2001/83/EC and Art. 13 of Directive 2001/20/EC and it has been renewed ever since (latest renewal in 2021).

Analytical Development

Development, Optimization and Validation of Analytical Methods

Our services span from the feasibility, method development and optimization phases of new methods of analysis, to their qualification/ validation for Quality Control of raw materials, In-process control samples, drug substance and final product under GMP.

  • Chemical, biological, molecular biology and cell based assays are qualified according to ICH;
  • Post development and analytical method transfer for QC.

Support to Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical Development

  • Protein identification by Mass Spectrometry including intact mass, peptide mass fingerprinting, confirmation of glycosylation pattern, identification of host cell proteins;
  • Evaluation of chemical, biological and viral contamination;
  • Analysis of cell and virus banks.

Analytical Services Equipment

The GMP Analytical Services facilities involve laboratories for mass spectrometry, chromatography, microbiology and cell-based assays.

The laboratories are installed in newly refurbished facilities equipped with q-PCR, GC (FID), GC-MS, Capillary electrophoresis (PDA and LIF), HPLC and UPLC systems (Fluorescence, UV/vis., PDA, RI) as well as spectrophotometers (FT-IR UV/Vis., Fluorescence) and image processors (Chemidoc).
