Service Scope & Regulatory Framework

Rigorous Scientific Execution Built for Global Regulatory Dossiers

Jarvogen provides ICH Q3C and USP <467> compliant residual solvent testing for APIs, drug products, and excipients. Using headspace GC-FID and GC-MS, we detect and quantify Class 1 (carcinogenic), Class 2 (non-genotoxic), and Class 3 (low toxic potential) solvents with high sensitivity and accuracy.

Compendial Standards & Regulatory Alignment:
✓ USP <467>✓ ICH Q3C✓ EP 2.4.24✓ JP
Dual-Analyst Review

100% 4-eye verification of all chromatograms, integrations, and calculations before CoA generation.
