Determination of nitrosamine content (Bioanalytic)

Our offer includes comprehensive development and validation of methods for determination of nitrosamines in pharmaceutical products. We perform the work according to the criteria and needs of the client based on the EMA note.

<p><strong>Determination of nitrosamines is one of the pharmaceutical industry's top priorities. After the presence of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) was first reported in an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) mandated the identification and control of all APIs and finished products in which there is a risk of nitrosamines.</strong></p><p>The content of nitrosamines in drug products can be controlled primarily by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. More than that, a reliable analysis result in our offer consists of a well-chosen sample preparation procedure, a selective and sensitive analytical method, and the experience of the analyst, who selects the best method parameters at the optimization stage.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Bioanalytic_Determination_of_nitrosamine_content_Bioanalytic_2_ce4f440837.jpg" alt="Bioanalytic: Determination of nitrosamine content." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Bioanalytic_Determination_of_nitrosamine_content_Bioanalytic_2_ce4f440837.jpg 234w," sizes="100vw" width="1536" height="1024"></p><p><strong>We have gained experience working with leading pharmaceutical companies.</strong> As part of our ongoing work, we have developed analytical methods for small-molecule nitrosamines of 70-150 g/mol. These compounds are mainly formed during manufacturing processes and depend on the presence and type of excipients (e.g. NDBA - N-nitroso-dibutylamine). We have also developed methods for determining molecules with higher nitrosamine drug substance related impurities (NDSRIs). In our work, we focus on achieving the highest possible sensitivity, selectivity and precision. To this end, we individually select the parameters of the methods depending on the composition of the drug and the expected nitrosamines. Due to the above criteria and the required detection limits, we perform nitrosamine impurity determinations using LC-MS/MS kits based on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/library?manufacturerItems=52&amp;search=QTRAP+5500%2B"><strong>QTRAP 5500+</strong></a> and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/library?manufacturerItems=52&amp;search=QTRAP+6500%2B"><strong>QTRAP 6500+</strong></a> mass spectrometers (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=55"><strong>SCIEX</strong></a>).</p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size:22px;"><strong>Our offer</strong></span></p><p><strong>Our offer includes comprehensive development and validation of methods for determination of nitrosamines in pharmaceutical products.</strong> <strong>We perform the work according to the criteria and needs of the client based on the EMA note.</strong></p><p>At the stage of sample preparation, we focus on:</p><ul><li>obtaining the <strong>highest possible recovery</strong> of nitrosamines (matrix purification);</li><li><strong>limiting additional synthesis</strong> of impurities (selection of appropriate equipment and reagents);</li><li><strong>ensuring the stability</strong> of the sample prepared for LC-MS/MS analysis.</li></ul><p>During the optimization of the LC-MS/MS method, we solve such problems as:</p><ul><li>selection of an <strong>appropriate internal standard</strong>;</li><li><strong>separation of the impurity from the API</strong>;</li><li>obtaining the expected <strong>sensitivity of the analytical method</strong>.</li></ul><p><strong>Quantitative analysis of nitrosamines requires sensitivity, precision and accuracy, which we provide to our customers.</strong></p></blockquote><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Bioanalytic_Determination_of_nitrosamine_content_Bioanalytic_1_d629e00e62.jpg" alt="Bioanalytic: Determination of nitrosamine content." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Bioanalytic_Determination_of_nitrosamine_content_Bioanalytic_1_d629e00e62.jpg 103w," sizes="100vw" width="1130" height="1710"></p>
