Heavy Metals Testing: Ensuring Product Safety to USP <231> and EP 2.4.8 Standards
Our heavy metals testing to USP <231> and EP 2.4.8 follows a well-defined colorimetric limit test procedure. The intensity of the colour produced in the sample solution is visually compared to that of the standard solution. If the colour of the sample solution is not darker than that of the standard, the sample passes the test, indicating that the concentration of heavy metal impurities is below the specified limit.
​Key Benefits of Our Heavy Metals Testing to USP <231> / EP 2.4.8:
Established Compliance:
Directly addresses the requirements of USP <231> and EP 2.4.8, crucial for products still governed by these specific pharmacopoeia standards.
Cost-Effective Screening:
Provides a relatively economical method for initial screening and limit testing of heavy metal impurities.
Quality Control Assurance:
A foundational test for ensuring product safety by limiting the presence of harmful metallic contaminants.
