SSCI, a division of AMRI that provides global analytical services, has implemented Mettler Toledo’s thermal analysis instruments that meet the updated regulatory data integrity standards, which are now being enforced by regulatory agencies in the United States and European Union as of Jan. 1, 2018.

“These state-of-the-art instruments enhance our support for crystalline form characterization, and provide our scientists with the ability to obtain valuable information about the thermal properties of these materials for the clients we serve,” Susan Bogdanowich-Knipp, Ph.D., director analytical technology at SSCI.

The Mettler Toledo instruments at SSCI now include models TGA / DSC 3+, TGA / SDTA851e, DSC 3+, and DSC 822. These systems, which became operational in December 2017, provide direct access to high-quality thermal analysis data as a stand-alone service offering and will further enhance the valuable information that SSCI delivers from polymorph, salt and cocrystal screens.

“Our scientists have consistently demonstrated the knowledge and expertise needed to solve complex solid-state problems for our clients in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries using techniques like thermal analysis. These new instruments give us the ability to develop high quality cGMP methods that meets data integrity regulations,” said Jon Selbo, Ph.D., general manager at SSCI.
