Pharmaceutical Testing
Every year the pharmaceutical industry introduces new medications to the world. It’s essential that these pharmaceutical products are safe for consumer health.
At Nova Biologicals, our team works diligently to improve public health by testing the safety and effectiveness of compound pharmaceuticals through a rigorous set of microbial testing services.
Lowering Pharmaceutical Costs
In addition to testing, we are exploring ways to lower the costs associated with the production and development of pharmaceutical drugs. Our Current Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) compliance program is helping to make the process more cost-effective. The program also provides our team with a qualified approach to understanding pharmaceutical microbiological testing.
USP Testing of Excipients
Nova also specializes in the USP testing of excipients. These substances, which are found in practically all marketed drugs in both natural and synthetic forms, are used to bulk up formulations or aid in drug absorption. Thousands of different excipients are used in various medicines and, on average, account for about 90% of each product. They are considered pharmacologically inert but can still interact with active ingredients or other excipients. We test the safety of these excipients to verify that they are regulatory compliant and meet quality standards.
