Bioanalytical Laboratory
Shilpa Medicare Ltd, Bioanalytical laboratory is a GLP compliant laboratory which can undertake method development, validation of bioanalytical methods, bioanalysis for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) studies, and pharmacokinetic (PK) services that support bioavailability (BA), bioequivalence (BE), and other exploratory studies.
Our team has qualified, GLP certified and experienced professionals with vast and relevant experience in method development, method validation and bio analysis for complex bio analytical assay such as chiral compounds, compounds having metabolite back conversion, unstable compounds, endogenous compounds, liposomal products, hormones, amino acids, vitamin and protein bound drugs. A dedicated team for quality control and sample management and archival of documents is also present.
Our independent quality assurance team closely monitors each activity to ensure compliance with standard operating procedures and protocols, as well as applicable national and international regulations.
The bioanalytical laboratory is spread over 3500 square feet and is equipped with qualified technicians and state-of-the-art equipment. Our state-of-the-art infrastructure includes high end instrumentation and the latest technology platforms that enable us to offer a comprehensive set of advanced services with reduced lead times and on-time delivery.
The laboratory uses liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) instrumentation such as API 4500 with electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) sources to analyze small molecules, peptides, enantiomers, and large molecules, having capacities to analyze 20,000 samples per month.
Low temperature freezers of -20ᵒC and -70ᵒC, having a storage capacity of more than 40000 samples are available and are fully controlled, monitored and equipped with temperature monitoring alarm system.
All instrument software are validated according to international regulations including 21 CFR part 11
The lab is able to achieve excellent chromatographic separation with minimal cycle time at low quantitation limits – often, at the picogram level. This approach allows us to support a variety of studies, including rapid turnaround for dose escalation decisions.
Regulatory Approvals
Our bioanalytical laboratory is equipped to meet the requirements of various regulatory bodies such as, CDSCO, US FDA, Brazil’s National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA), Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), etc.
