19-Dec-2007 - LGC Standards voted best supplier of scientific
reference materials
Formerly LGC Promochem, LGC Standards has recently been voted
the best company in the Spanish Pharmaceutical industry for the
supply of crucial Reference Materials
The poll of 200 major pharmaceutical companies was conducted by
the journal INDUSTRIA FARMACEUTICA for the ‘Best for quality and
technical innovation’ in 2007. The award will be presented to LGC
Standards at the prestigious 1os PREMIOS A LA CALIDAD E INNOVACION
TECNOLOGICA dinner at the Hotel Arts Barcelona on December 13th,
attended by leading Pharmaceutical Production Laboratories in
Spain.
Part of LGC, a major international science-based service
company, LGC Standards has rationalised its range of products and
services to offer solutions to all the quality management needs for
all analytical and development laboratories. Rapid and efficient
supply of reference materials and substances is key to the success
of laboratory projects and pharmaceutical product development, with
the areas of proficiency testing, custom synthesis and analytical
training becoming increasingly important.
“This award confirms the LGC Standards business strategy -
to expand our portfolio of products and services in the sector of
Quality Control internationally and become the supplier of choice
for pharmaceutical customers,” states Dr Matthias Brommer,
Director, LGC Standards division.
“We recognised that laboratories need more than simply the
supply of vital reference materials - so we have embarked upon a
strategy of expansion of services by internal development and
acquisition - this award is both a testimonial and endorsement of
this strategy and our commitment to customer service and
satisfaction.”
LGC Standards offers a comprehensive range of services to
pharmaceutical R & D and manufacturing. In addition to
extensive expertise in reference materials production and
certification, LGC Standards has successfully carved out a global
niche, producing impurity standards, working standards, and also
supplying pharmacopeia reference materials. These activities are
supplemented with customer synthesis of impurities and metabolites,
characterization, certification and distribution services.
