Batch release testing and EU re-tests

Conducting batch release analysis on behalf of a client is synonymous with partnership, communication, trust and control – but also with the many opportunities that become available for the design of the project.

QP-certified batch release analysis

The analytical laboratory for medicinal products DSI-pharm has a manufacturing authorisation according to § 13 AMG for testing and release of medicinal products in accordance with EMA Directive 2001/83/EC. If requested, our own qualified persons (QPs) can certify the batch release testing.

Medicinal Cannabis Services

Since March 2017, general practitioners and specialists in Germany have been allowed to prescribe medical cannabis in various forms, such as flowers or extracts, for serious illnesses. Due to THC contents above 0.2 %, these products are subject to the German Narcotics Law (BtMG). The handling of these products therefore requires a BtM permit from the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM). QSI is in possession of this permit and is therefore able to carry out analyses of cannabis/preparations.

In addition to the many analyses of the DAB and Ph.Eur. this includes in particular the determination of cannabinoid content as well as the testing for impurities (pesticide residues, mycotoxins, heavy metals, microbiology, etc.).

QSI holds a manufacturing permit according to § 13 AMG. The Qualified Person of QSI monitors the processes and can take over the batch release within the scope of the manufacturing permit.
