Stringent regulations and standards

Regulatory compliances have become more rigorous across various industries relying on analytical testing for quality assurance. Be it pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemicals or even environment monitoring - regulators worldwide are raising the bar to ensure consumer safety and protection. Stricter mandates signify the need for approved analytical methods, certified reference materials, method validations and demonstrable compliance to Good Laboratory or Manufacturing Practices.

FDA and EU guidelines now emphasize on risk-based approaches for process validation and quality by design principles during product development. Pharmacopeial monographs too are advancing to stipulate analytical specifications in sync with latest scientific advances. Laboratory accreditations to ISO/IEC 17025 are gaining prominence for demonstrating technical competence and assuring quality of test results. Meanwhile, industry associations are crafting industry-specific compendial methods and reference standards to simplify adherence to regulatory expectations.

At the same time, advancements in areas like precision and personalized medicine necessitate analytical instruments and platforms with higher throughput, accuracy and quantitative abilities. Technological innovations are enabling miniaturization, portability, automation as well as multi-dimensional analyses. Sophisticated scientific instrumentation incorporating such modern capabilities allows generating reliable data mandated by regulatory filings for approval. It also helps addressing analytical challenges of complex formulations, biosimilars as well as next generation biotherapeutics.

In a compliance-focused market atmosphere, stakeholders need to upgrade analytical methods and invest in new assays, software, and sample preparation tools to satisfy information expectations of regulators, assessors, and standards organizations. This drives strong demand for state-of-the-art as well as customizable and flexible analytical solutions among various regulated industries. Instrument vendors, in turn, are spurred to innovate and offer reliable analytical technologies, services and technical expertise to facilitate regulatory compliance globally.
