Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing's network of laboratories provides secure storage and experienced testing of your samples according to your specified procedures and timetables. We also offer testing for samples stored at your facility in addition to any project management and consulting you might need.

Our capabilities include biochemistry, chemistry, molecular and cell biology and microbiology testing services to support your bio/pharmaceutical product. We can use your procedures or those found in any compendium, such as USP, to support your GMP stability needs. Our Stability staff can also design studies specific to your project needs, and our experienced Method Development and Validation team is available for any additional services you may require.

Why Choose Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing?

  • We offer the largest Stability Testing and Storage Facilities with more than 400 chambers and more than 322,000 cubic feet of storage space.

Retain Program Management

Upon arrival at our lab, cGMP reserve samples are documented as to date and time of receipt and taken directly to our reserve sample storage area. We take inventory, compare the inventory with protocols and then log these samples into our reserve sample-tracking database. A cGMP quality check is performed as required for samples received from third-party manufacturers. This check can include but is not limited to: label quality, lot number, print quality, container quality and container closure. The inspection can be tailored to meet your in-house standard.

Per your requirements, reserve samples can be scheduled for physical observation analysis. We use the pull interface from our LIMS each work day, pull the samples as scheduled and log the samples due for testing into our LIMS. You will then receive an acknowledgment letting you know that the appropriate samples have been pulled and are scheduled for the required testing. All steps of the storage and testing process are tightly controlled and accurately documented.
