LGM Pharma has launched its new Analytical Services offering that provides analytical testing and stability services to pharmaceutical developers and manufacturers, including compounding pharmacies. The company, which already conducts analytical services as part of its integrated contract development and manufacturing (CDMO) activities, now is offering its analytical services expertise and facilities as a standalone contract service for pharmaceutical industry clients.
 
“We are delighted to be able to offer our first-rate analytical and stability testing services to the broader community of drug manufacturers and developers,” said Shailesh Vengurlekar, senior vice president, quality and regulatory affairs, LGM Pharma. “Our acquisition last year of Nexgen Pharma’s CDMO business significantly expanded our physical infrastructure and our pool of scientific talent, including specialized facilities, equipment, and staff with extensive expertise in analytic and stability testing. As a result, we now are able to provide a full suite of these services as a standalone option.”
 
Mr. Vengurlekar continued, “Our innovative approach to analytical and stability testing focuses on translating our deep understanding of data into actionable results. It is complemented by our ability to craft individualized frameworks for our client relationships, spanning one-time projects, preferred vendor relationships, comprehensive drug development and manufacturing partnerships, and everything in-between. We welcome both new and returning clients to learn more about our Analytical Services.”
