Emery Pharma Can Help
with Your Analytical Needs
Emery Pharma is a full-service contract research laboratory, specializing in supporting preclinical drug development, including analytical, bioanalytical solutions, microbiology & cell biology services, drug and impurity characterization, and general R&D and cGMP/GLP support. Emery Pharma provides exceptional analytical solutions for our Clients’ toughest R&D challenges and tailors those solutions to fit each Client’s unique needs.
Biologics Analytical Characterization
Emery Pharma has the required expertise and facilities to routinely characterize a wide variety of structural and chemical qualities in biologic compounds. We offer an extensive array of biologics characterization services, including de novo method development and validation. The identity is determined through liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis of both the intact molecule and a proteolytic digest. The purity of the drug substance/product can be assessed with respect to the extent of aggregation via Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC). Whereas the purity with respect to charge variants is determined through Ion Exchange Chromatography (IEX).
Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) is an analytical chemistry laboratory technique that can be used for identification, quantification, and mass analysis of samples and materials. Our tandem LC-MS (LC-MS/MS) is especially powerful in detecting and quantifying a variety of molecules.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy is an analytical chemistry laboratory technique used to look at the chemical environments of a selected nucleus on a molecular level. From basic 1H NMR analysis with minimal processing, to complete structure analysis (including a full range of 2D NMR) and interpretations.
Method development and validation are essential components of drug development and chemistry manufacturing and controls (CMC). The goal is to ensure that the methods used to measure the identity, purity, potency, and stability of drugs are accurate, precise, and reliable. Analytical methods are critical tools for ensuring the quality, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceutical products in the drug development process.
Metabolomics is broadly defined as the comprehensive measurement of all metabolites and low-molecular-weight molecules in a biological sample. We have a comprehensive platform with advanced instruments including UPLC-HR MS, GC-MS, UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS, and NMR to address all forms of untargeted and targeted metabolomics needs.
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a power-house analytical technique used for separation, identification, and quantitation of component(s) in a mixture. We offer a wide range of HPLC/UPLC techniques with variety of detectors for different analytes: mass spectrometry (LC-MS), UV-Vis (VWD, DAD), charged aerosol detectors (CAD), and refractive index (RI) – covering the gamut of HPLC/UPLC applications.
Proteomics is the study of the proteome, the entire set of proteins produced by a living system. It involves identification of proteins, investigation of protein abundances, the variations, and modifications therein, as well as insight into interacting partners and networks.
Medicinal Chemistry Support
From strategic planning, to hit evaluation and validation, to lead optimization and pre-clinical development, we support diverse therapeutic areas. We're experienced in developing drugs from original concept all the way to FDA approval.
Gas Chromatography (GC) is used for analyzing compounds that are volatile or can be vaporized at higher temperatures without decomposition, either in their native form (e.g., odorous oils, organic solvents) or converted to a volatile derivative (e.g., alcohols, amines, carboxylic acids via silylation, methylation, etc.). We utilize both liquid injection and thermal desorption methods (including SPME) and USP/FDA Headspace sampling, as well as derivatization poorly volatile analytes.
