Quality



Our Quality Management System (Belgian site) is fully certified to the ISO13485:2003 Quality Standard and compliant with FDA’s Quality System Regulation (21 CFR 820).

The GMP facility incorporates a card-key system for access to the manufacturing floor and permits full segregation of synthesis, cleavage/deprotection, purification and fill & finish processes.

Acces of the various clean rooms of various classes (class 100,000 and 10,000 with class 100 working zones) requires airlock pass-through and gowning policy.


Highly Controlled Upstream Process Control

  • Each supplier is carefully screened and approved
  • All reagents undergo rigorous Quality Control testing to guarantee exceptional quality and reproducibility of the finished product

  • Physical inspection of product
  • MALDI-TOF or ESI Mass Spectrometry
  • HPLC anion exchange
  • HPLC reverse phase
  • Capillary Gel Electrophoresis
  • Direct sequencing using enzymatic cleavage and MALDI-TOF
  • Enzymatic tests for DNA-enzyme conjugates
  • Probe/dye activity: fluorescence, signal to noise ratio, melting profile for Molecular Beacons
  • Heavy metals
  • Residual solvents
  • pH
  • Water content (Karl Fisher)
  • Endotoxins
  • Bio-burden
