In the realm of pharmaceuticals, the assurance of drug safety, effectiveness, and quality is paramount. Detecting impurities plays a pivotal role in this endeavor. Impurities in pharmaceuticals, such as genotoxic impurities, nitrosamines (NSA), drug-related nitrosamines (NDSRIs), and extractables and leachables (E&L), present notable health threats to patients and can result in product recalls and regulatory hurdles.
To adeptly tackle these challenges, sophisticated analytical methods are indispensable. Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has become the benchmark for impurity profiling, providing unparalleled sensitivity and specificity in identifying trace contaminants within intricate drug compositions. Of the solutions on offer, the Shimadzu LCMS-TQ RX Series distinguishes itself with its exceptional capability to accurately detect and quantify these perilous impurities, guaranteeing optimal safety and adherence in pharmaceutical evaluations.
