As part of the company's quality management the quality control unit of DOTTIKON EXCLUSIVE SYNTHESIS is responsible for testing raw materials, intermediates and final products to ensure compliance with specifications. For each material an approved testing procedure is available which defines the different analytical methods and their acceptance criteria. The tests are carried out according to cGMP on qualified instruments that were calibrated in defined intervals. Method validation is performed according to the actual ICH guidelines.
The quality control consists of two laboratory teams for chromatographic and none chromatographic methods with overall 10 analysts. Specifications and raw data were maintained in a Laboratory Information and Management System (LIMS).
