WuXi AppTec has a state-of-the-art analytical chemistry laboratory, along with experienced scientists, chemists, and toxicologists, located in St. Paul, Minnesota. Our extractables/leachables team partners with our customers to support product safety with regulatory consulting, pre-clinical testing, and post-commercialization product testing support.  Our regulatory and technical experience with active participation and/or leadership on global committees allows us to anticipate regulatory trends.  Our chemistry program driving principle is complete chemical characterization.  This is our standard of practice as our chemists work closely with our toxicologists, who write the chemical safety assessment of each chemical identified in the chemistry report, to provide the most mass-accurate data and virtually no unknowns in our chemistry reports.  Our technical and regulatory experts advise on test design and strategies for test plans while working closely to account for the product, indication, and patient population.  Furthermore, we stand behind our work – from test plans through clearance – responding to questions or other regulatory requests as part of the submission process.
