AMRI announced the expansion of its container closure integrity testing (CCIT) services into the European Union. 

The company will build out custom laboratory space for CCIT in its Valladolid, Spain, analytical facility; additional analytical services, including reference standards and ICH stability testing, will follow later in 2018.

“Within the last several years, the life sciences industry has pivoted toward quantitative methods for integrity testing of sterile package systems, with regulatory agencies increasingly demanding these more modern technologies,” said Mark Stier, head of analytical services at AMRI. “As our client base for this critical service continues to grow in Europe, this expansion is a logical step in our mission to provide comprehensive testing solutions to customers across the globe.”

The expansion of these services supports the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) stability facilities at the site.
