The Analytical Research & Development department (PTDC-A)is part of Global Technical Development (PTD) and responsible for analyzing drug substances and dosage forms of synthetic molecule development products. The ultimate goal of our work is a robust control strategy to release pharmaceutical products for clinical trials, and finally for commercial supply.

The Hyphenated & Special Technologies (HST) section provides key scientific customer support with Mass Spectrometry (MS), separation sciences and innovative special technologies.

More than 20 mass spectrometry experts in HST verify the safety and quality of our synthetic drug substances and drug products by identity testing, characterization and quantification of any type of impurities including genotoxic impurities (incl. N-Nitrosamines) and Extractables & Leachables.

As a technical expert in HST you are mainly responsible for the following tasks:
