Pharmaceutical Ingredients are the “Raw Material”, maybe Natural, Semi-Synthetic or Synthetic Chemical Compounds or Biologically Derived Products, which are used for Formulation of Various Dosage Forms. The Ingredients which have Therapeutic value are referred to as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and Ingredients that have no Therapeutic Action but are used to formulate a Dosage Form are known as Excipients. All Ingredients used in Formulation require Routine Analysis to ascertain the Quality of the Finished Products.
EFRAC‘s Pharma Testing wing routinely performs QC Analysis according to CGMP Quality Standards for the APIs, Bulk Drugs, Intermediates, Excipients, Finished Products & Packaging Materials for Systematic and Stringent Physical, Chemical and Microbiological Analysis as per the Standardized Validation or Pharmacopoeial Protocols to ascertain the Quality of the Finished Product.
