Customer References

„AViSpectro hat für uns sehr zuverlässig die Zusammensetzung einer festen pharmazeutischen Originator-Formulierung bestimmt. Die Gewichtsanteile der drei Hauptkomponenten konnten mit Genauigkeiten zwischen ±0.7% bis ±1.5% ermittelt werden. Aufgrund der schwierigen Zusammensetzung der Formulierung mit Retardierungswirkung war dies mit anderen Methoden quantitativ nicht möglich.

Besonders gefallen hat  uns das transparente Vorgehen bei der Modellbildung und multivariaten Datenanalyse, das auditiert und in eine Zulassung eingehen kann. Das individuell aufgebaute Modell und die transparente Dokumentation von AViSpectro heben sich sehr positiv von erhältlichen standardisierten Auswertungstools ab, deren Modellbildung, Messgüte und Ergebnisrelevanz wir oft nicht nachvollziehen und daher nicht bewerten können.“

– Managing Director of a Pharmaceutical and Drug Formulation Development Company
