Pace Analytical Life Sciences (PLS) has recently made significant investments to upgrade our capabilities and capacity for Total Organic Carbon (TOC) USP/EP testing. We have upgraded and standardized our equipment: we have purchased three new instruments and placed one within each of our FDA-registered, GMP-compliant testing laboratories:
- Oakdale, Minnesota
- Somerset, New Jersey
- San German, Puerto Rico
In addition, we have modified and validated the internal methods we use to perform Total Organic Carbon (TOC) USP/EP testing. The new method can be used for the testing of purified water samples and the testing of aqueous extracts. It is a method with the quantification, range, and sensitivity to support the updated requirements of USP <661>, general chapters for evaluation of plastic packaging components.
Our new method, LM 286, “Quantitative Determination of Total Organic Carbon”, outlines the requirements for the analysis of Total Organic Carbon in accordance with several compendia chapters, including: EP 2.2.44, USP <643>, and USP <661>. This method has been formally validated and documented under a formal validation protocol. We will be happy to share with clients a copy of the validation report for LM 286, upon request.
These investments in equipment and a properly validated method allows Pace Analytical Life Sciences to support all your facility monitoring programs, your water system validation projects, and your raw material and packaging testing programs. By using the same method and equipment in each of our three GMP testing labs, you have the assurance of consistent and reliable data, regardless of where the testing is completed. This also provides ready access to immediate capacity; any of our laboratories can provide support to large projects and to prevent service interruptions if one facility is constrained.
