Reference library
Analytical Methods
A growing reference library of the analytical methods used to characterise research materials — what each measures, what its results can support, and what they cannot establish.
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography
A separation technique that resolves a mixture into its components so each can be detected and measured.
Identification · MSMass Spectrometry
An analytical technique that ionises molecules and measures them by mass-to-charge ratio.
Separation + Identification · LC-MSLiquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry
A combined technique that separates components by chromatography and then measures them by mass spectrometry.
Comparison basisReference Standards
Characterised materials used as a basis for comparison in analytical testing.
Analytical checks & concepts
Understand each analytical check
Concise explanations of what each analytical check evaluates and what it can and cannot establish. These describe analytical concepts generally; lot-specific methods and results live in Osmora’s Quality system and verification records.
Endotoxin / LAL
Detecting bacterial endotoxin (LAL-type approaches).
Analytical checkElemental Impurities / ICP-MS
Trace elements by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
Analytical checkPCR Microbial Screening
Nucleic-acid amplification to screen for microbial genetic material.
Analytical checkSterility
Whether viable organisms are detectable under test conditions.
Analytical checkBioburden / Microbial Enumeration
Estimating viable microbial load.
Analytical checkResidual Solvents / GC / GC-MS
Volatile-solvent residues, typically by gas-phase approaches.
Analytical checkMoisture / Water Content
How much water is associated with a material.
Analytical checkTFA Analysis
Trifluoroacetic acid as counter-ion or residue.
Analytical checkpH Measurement
Acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
Analytical checkVial Content / Quantitative Analysis
Absolute amount of the intended substance.
Analytical checkPotency Assay
Activity, distinct from purity and quantity.
Analytical checkIdentity Confirmation
Which molecule is present.
Analytical checkHPLC / UPLC Purity
Chromatographic purity of the main component.
Analytical checkSame-Lot Conformity
Documentation and testing tied to one lot.
Analytical checkStability / Degradation
How stability concepts fit batch documentation.
