Eurofins Livingston facility
Eurofins Scientific (Luxembourg), an international group of laboratories, has plans to establish a new pharmaceutical chemistry and microbiology facility in Livingston, Scotland, as part of a £4 million investment.
The 5800-square meter facility at Brucefield Industry Park will house Eurofin’s biopharmaceutical testing business in the UK, currently based in Edinburgh. The first phase of the project will include the development of 1400 square meters of laboratory space.
As part of the investment, Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing UK will be purchasing a new inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) instrument, allowing the company to meet growing demand for this service as a result of new International Conference Harmonization (ICH) guidelines and pharmacopeial chapters on testing drugs for elemental impurities. Eurofins will also invest in more high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipment, increasing that capacity by 40%.
Low Water Analysis Reimagined: Instant NIR Measurements for Quality Control & Process Upgrades
March 5th 2024Elena Hagemann, Product Manager for Process Spectroscopy at Metrohm USA, discusses a novel synchronized, automatic calibration data collector. This system eliminates the laborious calibration process of prediction model development without manual sampling. This capability allows moisture measurement systems to be calibrated at the factory down to approximately 7 ppm and to be installed in pipelines and reactors without additional calibration effort.
