Mikromol – Together, beyond the standard

Pharmaceutical reference standards and reference material services

LGC goes beyond the standard to ensure the reliability of your analysis regardless of the method used. We offer robust internal quality control, including strict release criteria and continuous quality monitoring throughout the lifecycle of standard, ISO-accredited methodology, as well as homogeneity assessments.

We provide comprehensive Certificates of ย Analysis (COAs) to ensure the transparency and availability of results, from 100% mass balance to volatile contents, original spectra, chromatograms, and method details. Our teams use orthogonal methods to establish identities and assays, allowing quantitative use of the standard ย In any method being used in your laboratory.

All our services adhere to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Good ย Distribution Practice (GDP) principles, as shown by our EXCiPACTยฎ certification. We also follow stringent packaging and labelling protocols to ensure regulatory conformity.

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) primary reference standards

Mikromolโ€™s reference standards for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are primary quantitative standards โ€“ most of them are accredited to ISO 17034 standards and designed to ensure the highest analytical accuracy and reliability. Because their intended use is for potency assessments, calibrations, drug substance and drug product release testing, they have a tight target measurement uncertainty (MU) of 0.5%.

About Mikromol

Mikromol was founded following the fall of the Berlin Wall with the aim to provide access to tools that would enable unified quality control systems in drug release, which the East German market had lacked.

We aim to offer one of the pharmaceutical industryโ€™s broadest portfolios of reference standards and reference material services, helping companies create ever better, safer medicines.
