In pharmaceutical R&D, artificial gastric and intestinal fluids are essential for simulating human digestive conditions during in-vitro dissolution testing. These fluids, replicating physiological pH and enzyme content, help assess how drugs dissolve and absorb—crucial for efficacy and safety. Pickering Laboratories offers USP-compliant formulations, aiding accurate quality control. Such testing is especially vital for patients with altered GI physiology, like those post-bariatric surgery, which can impact drug absorption, including oral contraceptives. ESSLAB supports these efforts by partnering with Pickering to enhance drug development accuracy and ensure effective medication performance under varied physiological conditions.
Turbidity, caused by suspended particles, affects water quality and photometric analysis by scattering light. ESSLAB provides MACHEREY-NAGEL’s NANOCOLOR® spectrophotometers, which automatically detect and correct turbidity interference for accurate results. Methods like filtration, dilution, and correction factors help minimize errors. NANOCOLOR® instruments offer fast, reliable testing, compact design, and ease of use, making them ideal for water quality assessment.
Recent studies highlight the dangers of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) migrating from plastics and rubber in consumer goods and PPE into human skin. Firefighters face high PAH exposure due to extreme conditions, while everyday products like toys, sportswear, and wearables pose similar risks. Advancements in-vitro testing, including artificial sweat and skin surface film liquid (SSFL), provides more accurate assessments of PAH absorption. These methods improve product safety, guide regulations, and protect public health. ESSLAB and Pickering Laboratories support PAH migration research with advanced testing tools, ensuring compliance with evolving UK and European safety standards.
