Our mission is to offer international expertise in the many facets of solid-state characterization of pharmaceutical solids (assainternational®) offers :
Scientific Education:
Outstanding workshops and conferences on solid-state characterization of pharmaceutical material. The International Workshop on Solid-State Characterization of Pharmaceutical Solids (IWPCPS®) is known worldwide as the most comprehensive and up-to-date workshop of it’s kind. Workshop participants are exposed to several analytical approaches of characterizing a solid. They learn how these approaches can compliment each other and may be utilized individually or in concert in the solution of real problems in pharmaceutical development and solid-state chemistry. Analytical Services:
assa® also offers physical characterization of active pharmaceutical Ingredients, Excipients, and Drug Products. We specialize in polymorph/solvate screening and solid-state analytical techniques such as XRPD, mircoscopy, thermal analysis and spectroscopic methods. We represent Adroit Science in North America, a company dedicated to the exploration and characterization of substances and formulations from a solid state point of view, offering first class laboratory and consultancy services to the industry within solid material analysis including supportive analytical chemistry. International Resources:
We help our clients navigate through the myriad of information regarding analytical instrumentation and equipment currently used, its capabilities and limitations, ease of maintenance and servicing, and unfriendliness of hardware and software for the user. Ultimately, we can help you choose the analytical instrumentation equipment most suitable for your needs yet still within your budget limit. On request we could also oversee the purchasing process. assa® can assist in areas often not adequately addressed (or simply avoided) by the instrument manufacturers such as GLP/GMP compliance (IQ/OQ/PQ) or 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. International Intellectual Property Support:
Legal Patent Opinion
Patent Review and Patent Drafting
Literature Search
Protecting Intellectual property rights is one of the most critical tasks in pharmaceutical R&D. We work closely with lawyers in different jurisdictions who specialize in pharmaceutical patents concerning solid-state forms and formulations. Protecting intellectual property rights is one of the most critical tasks in pharmaceutical R&D. International Business Services:
