Equipment

The equipment of Quercus Labo is dedicated for the services provided. Besides the equipment required for sample preparation Quercus labo has equipment and apparatuses for a broad range of tests as needed in a pharmaceutical laboratory.

For assay and quantification we provide you testing using:

• HPLC’s: gradient/UPLC (up to 650 bar) – with oven and sampler both cooling and warming – DAD detection – RI detection – fluorescence detection
• Gaschromatography, including headspace with FID
• Automatic titrators –  different changing units, including semi-micro water determination
• Spectrophotometry: UV-Vis, IR
• Thin layer chromatography

Also the standard equipment in a pharmaceutical analytical is available: pH meter, balances, viscosity meter, refractometer, polarimeter, melting point tester, ionmeter, microscope.

The equipment for pharmacotechnical testing includes:

• Desintegration
• Dissolution
• Hardness tester
• Friability tester
• Caliper

Microbiological testing of non-sterile pharmaceutical forms and raw materials is carried out in dedicated areas, with separation of the clean testing area from the area used for inoculation with germs.
Cabinets for stability studies and on-going stability at: 25°C/60%RH – 30°C/65%RH – 40°C/75%RH.
