Pharmaceutical compound characterization techniques assess the physical structure and properties of APIs and formulated products.

Physical characterization services which are GLP or cGMP compliant assist with quality control, manufacturing troubleshooting, contamination issues, and other investigations. Intertek physical property tests of pharmaceutical materials, APIs, and formulations help to identify physical and chemical defects.  Applications include solid dosage forms, suspensions, particulates, gels and liquid emulsions. 

Molecular level physical characterization:

Bulk level characterization:

  • Powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)
  • Thermal analysis (DSC, TGA)
  • Surface area, porosity, porosimetry
  • Powder flow characteristics including pourability, dustability
  • Physico-chemical properties

Powder X-Ray Diffraction can be used to study API polymorphs using morphological pure references as a comparison for the product during the development process, or as a QC test.
