2 Method Troubleshooting / Method Improvement (On-site or at our UK Laboratories) Problematic & poorly performing analytical methods have a high cost in terms of wasted analysis time including lengthy re-preparations, re-runs and investigations. Together we will quickly identify the root causes of method problems and implement agreed solutions in partnership with you. Solve problems with difficult or critical methods Solve method robustness problems Solve retention time, selectivity or baselines issues Overcome problems with poor quantitative performance Improve method sensitivity Developing New Methods (On-site or at our UK Laboratories) For the times when you don t have the time, expertise or equipment to develop a new method, Crawford Scientific can offer a cost effective solution to help to bridge the gap. This consultancy service can be delivered at your site or in our laboratories. Method development / validation protocol writing HPLC, GC and MS method development & validation Implementing automated method development strategies Implementing computer aided optimisation in method development Implementing QbD strategies for analytical method development

3 Method Transfer (On-site) If you are struggling with a difficult method transfer, need to transfer a method for the first time or need an independent view when problems are occurring, our highly experienced staff can help Method transfer strategy and protocol preparation Troubleshooting problems with method transfer Independent third party facilitation of method transfer within and between companies MS Services (On-site or at our UK Laboratories) For everyone using an MS detection system and who wishes to improve the analytical performance or needs help with a new instrument purchase this consultancy service will help to answer those questions. MS source tuning and optimisation to improve sensitivity and reduce interferences MS analyser tuning to improve sensitivity / specificity Implementing advanced spectral experiments Advice on which analyser type to purchase Method review and improvement service Audit (On-site) We have experience of working within a vast range of business, application and legislative areas, and have seen what works and what doesn t!
