We provided short and long-term support for a wide range of small and large companies:

Quality assurance and compliance

1.0 Case study

A concerned client had problems with quality control tests
and asked for our help.

The product was a key part of the manufacturing process for a number of important drugs. Product batches were failing key release tests. This lead to problems with supply of product to customers, as failed batches could not
be used.

We suspected tests were not performing consistently and producing misleading results rather than any manufacturing problem.

We confirmed the failed batches were perfectly acceptable and produced reliable tests.

• We analysed problem in depth
• Prepared validation protocols for improved tests
• Provided support in execution of validation protocols
• Prepared validation report

2.0 Case study

A multinational client required development and implementation of a
Quality Management System in order to operate to GMP.

We designed and implemented a system to suit structure, operations and culture of company. An interim QA Manager was appointed to oversee project.
