IAS offers a complete standard management program that includes standard reference development, qualification, and characterization for raw materials, intermediates, impurities, and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Qualification is carried out using the chromatographic, spectroscopic, or titrimetric technique for the establishment of potency, whereas, for characterization, the identity of the chemical is established by using multiple orthogonal techniques such as DSC, TGC, UV, FTIR, NMR, elemental analysis and mass spectroscopy.
