Testing
Lab-grade answers to factory-floor questions.
When a component fails in a GMP process, a generic test report isn't enough. You need forensic analysis, validated methods, and bio-pharma-grade insight — delivered fast enough to keep production moving and audits clean. Our Dublin laboratory is built for exactly that.
About our Testing
Failure analysis, not just inspection
We combine microscopy, spectroscopy, and elemental analysis with engineering context — so the report doesn't just describe what went wrong, it tells you why and what to change to stop it recurring.
- SEM/EDX, FTIR, and optical microscopy on-site
- Engineering interpretation, not just lab data
- Recommendations tied to material, design, or process
Validated methods, audit-ready reporting
Every test we run uses validated, repeatable methods, and every report is structured for regulator review. The output is documentation your QA team can hand directly to an inspector.
- Validated methods aligned to USP, EP, and ISO references
- Audit-grade reports with full traceability
- Fast turnaround — production-pace, not lab-pace

Testing — FAQs
What's a typical turnaround time?+
Standard failure analysis is 5–10 working days. Expedited service is available for production-critical investigations, often within 48–72 hours.
Are your methods validated?+
Yes. Methods are validated and aligned to USP, EP, and relevant ISO references, with full method documentation available on request.
Can you support regulatory submissions?+
Reports are structured for regulator review, and our team can support direct queries from inspectors or notified bodies where required.
Do you take samples from anywhere in the world?+
Yes — most clients ship to the Dublin lab. For sensitive or large samples, we can arrange chain-of-custody logistics.
