Particle Characterization & Testing

GMP-compliant particle characterization to support pharmaceutical development and quality control

Kymos Group provides GMP-compliant particle characterization and testing services to support the development, manufacturing, and quality control of pharmaceutical products. Particle attributes such as size, morphology, and surface properties play a critical role in product performance, stability, and manufacturability, particularly in complex formulations and advanced drug delivery systems.

Our integrated analytical approach combines complementary techniques to generate a comprehensive understanding of particle and solid-state properties. This enables informed decision-making throughout the product lifecycle: from early development to batch release and post-approval changes.

Services

Our catalog of services include:

  • Identification of polymorphism, crystallinity, and amorphous content using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD)
  • Assessment of solid-form transformations under stress and stability conditions
  • Thermal and spectroscopic analysis using DSC/TGA, Raman and FTIR
  • Measurement of surface area and porosity using gas adsorption techniques (BET)
  • Evaluation of particle interactions and aggregation behavior
  • Development and validation of particle-related analytical methods under GMP
  • Routine testing for quality control and batch release
