Example of a case study: The Particle Team solves problems. Clients approach us to help them identify unknown particles or determine particles likely to be extracted from or present in their products, raw materials, or processes. Common questions we help our clients answer:
What is this blue fiber floating in this finished drug product? Where did this white residue come from? What particles might be shed in a patient when our device is used? As a Senior member of this team, you'd review analyst reports and ensure the conclusions align with the data collected from various analytical techniques. You'd participate in process improvement and technique validation.
