Butterworth Highlights Extended Contract Analytical Capabilities

Exhibiting at Lab Innovations 2013, Stand G7, Butterworth is a fully independent contract analytical chemistry laboratory, which has been delivering a cost-effective, timely and reliable service for nearly 40 years.

The company offers the following outsourcing solutions:

• QC testing          

• method development and validation    

• stability storage and testing    

Using a wide range of instrumental techniques operated by experienced scientific staff, the analytical fields served include:

• chromatography        

• atomic and molecular spectroscopy        

• general and wet chemistry        

• phys/chem testing        

• elemental microanalysis   

Increasing demand for trace metals analysis, resulting from the proposed changes to the USP, EP and ICH Q3D Guidelines for Elemental Impurities, has led to the refurbishment of Butterworth’s laboratory, increasing its capacity by 15%. One of the newly created laboratories will house Butterworth’s recently purchased Agilent 8800 ICP triple quadrupole (ICP-QQQ), together with its current ICP-MS.

In addition, the company has extended its capabilities in residual solvents analysis with the purchase of a Perkin Elmer HS110 headspace trap sampler along with an additional Claris 580 GC and is currently developing methods for low level benzene and vinyl chloride applications.

This commitment underpins Butterworth’s core values of quality, reliability and confidentiality in analytical chemistry outsourcing.
