Missouri Analytical Laboratories (MAL) is a contract testing laboratory that provides analytical support to the pharmaceutical industry. The majority of our business is related to pharmaceutical stability studies. We have stability storage and testing capabilities for both long term stability (25°C and 60% Relative Humidity) and accelerated conditions (40°C and 75% Relative Humidity). We are licensed by both federal and state DEA agencies to analyze controlled substances including (CII-CIV).
Quality Assurance Department (QA) – MAL’s QA department assesses the suitability of components, in-process materials, and finished products and the adherence of the products to established specifications and limits. The QA department ensures that all data is recorded, reported and reviewed under strict cGMP and regulatory guidelines. The QA department maintains a robust Quality Management System that includes internal audits and routine data review.
Quality Control Department (QC) – MAL’s QC department ensures pharmaceutical products have the established identity, strength, purity, and other quality characteristics and meet the required levels of safety and effectiveness. Analytical testing is performed based on customer needs and specifications. The QC department also conducts method tech transfer experiments, analyzing client samples using a variety of instrumentation to verify the lab can accurately test the samples per customer provided or compendial analytical methods.
