Nitrosamines Impurities

Nitrosamine impurities became a focus for authorities in July 2018, when they announced a recall of angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) medicines, known as “sartans”, due to being a probable human carcinogen N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Since then, more cases of drug substance and drug product batches contaminated with Nitrosamines came to be known, recalls and further reviews are being carried out by several national authorities in US, Canada, Switzerland and Singapore. Chromak Research use GC-MS method to determine the presence of NDMA, NDEA, NDIPA, NEIPA and NDBA according to the methodology developed and approved by the FDA. Our scientists also utilizes LC-MS & GC-MS to determine the amount of NDMA in DRUG substances and Drug product to ICH Q2 (R1), with LOD 0.375 ng/mL and LOQ 1.25 ng/mL level. Our scientist can assist you in performing the necessary method validations to support your product throughout the regulatory submissions process or for quality assessment of your products.
