Many surfaces come in contact with the pharmaceutical product during its lifecycle. Our analytical experts can conduct a deep characterization of the physical-chemical properties of the surfaces, to correctly evaluate the container performance and the feedback when in contact with the drug product. The container surface investigation provides essential information to corroborate the physico-chemical performance of the system.
