The following analytical techniques are available at the Bachem Group

Our profound knowledge of the world of peptides also makes us leaders in the area of analytical methods. Bachem not only knows which methods are suitable for determining the relevant analytical parameters of a peptide, but also which of these methods are requested by the licensing authorities. We develop and validate new analytical methods, according to industrial standards.
Besides analyzing active ingredients we also study their interactions with packaging materials or with materials that they might come into contact with during the further course of their use.
