Speedy access to the world's polymer news
Polymer Contents is a new free service from Rapra Technology, custom-created to the needs of individual subscribers and designed to bring the world of polymers direct to the doorstep of the industry.
Ingles says that 'pharmaceutical companies, quite rightly, want to stick to what they know in terms of drug research and design.
They also want to let specialist suppliers such as ourselves take on a package of outsourced technical business further downstream.
It is essential that these sub-contractors not only have experience in dealing with the pharmaceutical world but can operate to the level of quality demanded within the timescales imposed by clients.
Rapra has a proven track record in this area and has positioned itself as the polymer outsource partner of choice'.
Developing regulations in Europe now make it compulsory, for example, for extractables and leachables studies to be carried out on new pharmaceutical products.
This kind of outsourced work is now steadily increasing at Rapra Technology.
Ingles notes that 'our highly qualified and specialist teams at Rapra are able to give our clients best advice, practice and compliance through scientific method and validation - specifically with the appropriate studies, according to FDA/CDER guidelines.
We are also able to offer a method development and validation services for clients'.
