A Brief Overview of Avanti Rx Analytics

ARA – Avanti Rx Analytics Inc. offers a comprehensive menu of services to help producers ensure the safety and quality of their cannabis and pharmaceutical products, including Analytical Method Validation, Method Transfer, Stability Studies, and Quality Control Analysis.

As the medical cannabis community continues to expand throughout Canada, Europe, and other parts of the world, so too has the need for fast and accurate quality control testing services. The quality of any results from analytical testing is inherently tied to several factors:

1.

The instrumentation used for analysis

  • Quality of the instrumentation
  • Proper calibration, and maintenance of instrumentation
  • Adherence to strict qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) procedures to ensure proper operation of the equipment

2.

The procedure used for testing

  • Clear and concise procedures for specified testing
  • Robust and precise validated methodologies to ensure results
  • Adherence to validated or Compendial methods (i.e., USP, BP, Ph.Eur., DAB, etc.)

3.

The analyst performing the testing

  • Education level and experience appropriate for the testing being performed
  • Training for specific analytical techniques and procedures used
  • Personal integrity of the analyst

The best way to ensure the above criteria are met is for any testing performed to be done so under Good Laboratory and Manufacturing Practices. It requires strict adherence to policies rich in documentation and record-keeping.
