The Importance of Quality Control in Pharmaceutical Chemicals
Quality control is essential in every business, and when it comes to pharmaceutical chemicals, it goes beyond standard good business practices—it becomes critical to ensuring safety and effectiveness. Bell Chem, your USP ingredient supplier, vigilantly ensures every chemical passing through its facilities meet or exceed all quality standards. Bell Chem’s stringent standards mean your own safety and quality control standards are more easily met.
Take a look at Bell Chem’s lineup under USP ingredients for the chemicals and ingredients meeting the stringent USP (United States Pharmacopeia) Verification guidelines, which include the quality of ingredients, uniformity with Good Manufacturing Practices, quality standards, and independent testing. For Bell Chem’s customers, these measures ensure the products need not be re-tested for quality control. For consumers, these measures ensure a lower risk of substandard ingredients.
Before any ingredients enter or leave Bell Chem’s facility, another stringent quality control measure is enacted: Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). This multi-step process is not a safety net focused on end-product testing. Instead, HACCP focuses on prevention of any mishaps along the entire process of manufacture, with emphasis on the critical control points, those areas where mishaps are most likely to occur. Knowing these weak-link areas pinpoints the necessity to alleviate as many hazards as possible.
Rigorous quality control ensures that pharmaceutical manufacturers adhere to strict standards. Variations in the concentration of active ingredients between batches could go undetected without thorough inspection, resulting in medications with inaccurate dosages. Physicians rely on consistent medication formulations to meet individual patient needs; inconsistencies in dosing can pose serious health risks. Therefore, comprehensive pharmaceutical quality control is essential to ensure patient safety and uphold industry standards.
Bell Chem’s ingredients and chemicals and their handling meet or exceed all standards set by the Food and Drug Administration, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Their inventory is audited by D.L. Neweslow and Associates for Good Manufacturing Practices and Codex Alimentarious, and a variety of HACCP and PRP Requirements.
