Pharmaceuticals are defined as substances or preparations of substances intended for use in or on the body and used to cure, alleviate or prevent symptoms and diseases – for both humans and animals.

Safety testing
Clear, legal requirements are defined for the approval of pharmaceuticals to ensure safe products.
This relates to the active ingredient of the product, other raw materials and excipients used, as well as the actual manufacturing, purification and control processes.
For this reason, proper analytical solution and validation is an integral part of the pharmaceutical product and is performed under the most stringent requirements of international regulatory agencies (FDA, EPA, ICH, EP, USP and OECD).

Continuous quality control and pharmaceutical testing by Tentamus
The quality control of your products is carried out in the laboratories of the Tentamus Group according to standardized, verified and validated procedures – either at the respective pharmacopoeia level or on the basis of our own developments.
In doing so, we cover raw materials, semi-finished goods, finished drugs, cytostatics, narcotics and medical devices as well as medicinal cannabis.
In this context, we offer the following pharmaceutical testing services:
Microbiology, sterile
Microbiology, non-sterile
Chemical/physio-chemical
Biological
Residue analysis
Continuous stability testing, e.g. according to ICH standards
In addition to the testing of stability samples, the laboratories of the Tentamus Group offer to establish the stability programs internally according to your specifications based on qualified climatic conditions, so that transport and removal expenses can be reduced for you here.
Microbiologicaltesting of pharmaceuticals
Microbiological testing, including non-sterile pharmaceutical preparations and substances, allows us to detect microorganisms in raw materials, the production environment and formulated products.
Our laboratories can offer you the complete range of laboratory analyses for this purpose.
Whether you are validating procedures, monitoring processes, evaluating the efficacy of cleaning or disinfection procedures, or looking for contaminants and undesirable organisms in the product, we can help.
We offer the following microbiological tests:
Microbiological testing according to pharmacopoeia
Identification of organisms
Effectiveness of antimicrobial preservation (antimicrobial effectiveness)
Physio-chemical testing ofpharmaceuticals
Our laboratories examine your pharmaceuticals using state-of-the-art technology in accordance with national and international pharmacopoeias.
Starting materials, active ingredients, sterile and non-sterile drug products as well as specially regulated products (e.g. narcotics, cytostatics) can be tested using chemical analyses.
Pharmaceutical testing for impurities and residues
Impurities can already enter the raw material to be used for a drug product or contaminate the product during the production process.
These can be crop protection products on the one hand, but also chemical substances such as solvents, ethylene oxide, dioxane or sulfated ash on the other.
Recent international examples show the scope of this and consequently Tentamus is happy to support you in the investigation to detect any residues and to be able to initiate appropriate measures.
We base our analyses on the applicable regulations and legal limits.
Already in the context of the application for marketing authorization, the various legal requirements must be met – but they must also be checked in the context of stability studies and batch certification.
We are happy to advise you on the right choice of packaging material and qualification of suppliers, and check your labeling and product information for conformity with legal requirements and registration documents.
As part of both product development and stability testing, the Tentamus laboratories will be happy to check the extent to which packaging materials have an influence on your products and any impurities.
