Heavy Metals Testing For Safety And Quality

By Exeter Analytical (UK) Ltd in Coventry

Heavy metals testing is a critical step in ensuring the safety and quality of a wide range of products, including pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and chemicals. While newer, more sensitive techniques are emerging, the traditional USP <231> and EP 2.4.8 methods remain important for specific regulatory requirements and product monographs, serving as established limit tests for potentially harmful metallic impurities.

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.
