4 What we offer Pharmaceuticals SYNLAB Pharma provides a wide range of analytical services supporting our customers from drug discovery through preclinical and clinical studies to release and manufacturing of the final drug product. We have over 20 years of experience in supporting the pharmaceutical industry, from the measurement of single assays to the execution of complex and demanding projects across the entire life cycle of a pharmaceutical product. Biopharmaceuticals SYNLAB Pharma develops and implements strategies for the analysis of innovative products, bio similars and biobetters. Only to name some areas of expertise: PK and PD, biomarkers and immunogenicity including assay development, optimization and validation. In addition, the drug production process is supported by our broad experience in running bioassays for release and stability testing. Release & Stability Another core service of SYNLAB Pharma is stability studies in accordance with ICH Q1A(R2), including consultancy, planning, storage and analysis. SYNLAB Pharma supports all stages of successful drug product registration: Long-term, intermediate and accelerated stability; ongoing and follow-up stability studies, stress testing (including photo-stability testing), and compatibility studies. 4

5 Medical Devices The development of medical devices requires specialized lab testing in order to cope with the increasing regulatory requirements. SYNLAB Pharma has the expertise in running biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993), leachable & extractable studies, toxicological and microbiological tests of medical devices for biological evaluation in development, registration and production. Novel Foods SYNLAB Pharma is the GLP, GMP and GCP lab expert during R&D and manufacturing of novel foods in accordance with the European guideline (1223/2009). Analytical services include: bioanalytical testing, hygiene, microbiology, toxicology and clinical trial services. Cosmetics SYNLAB Pharma supports all stages of the production process of cosmetics. We offer consultancy for analytics and quality control, physico-chemical methods, stability studies under defined climate conditions, microbiological and in-use stability tests.
