How confident are you in your potency results? 🤔

Even well-validated LC–UV methods can miss real-world challenges - from extraction losses to reference standard variability - that quietly skew your data.

☑️ Our new application note breaks down the full potency testing workflow, highlighting where bias can creep in and how to control it.

☑️ Backed by practical insights and real case studies, it’s designed to help you generate accurate results for small molecule APIs.

in 1875, countries agreed that a metre should mean the same thing everywhere. 📏

It sounds obvious - but until then, it didn’t. The same measurement could vary between cities and between countries. Engineering specifications didn’t always translate, and disputes over quantities and quality were common.

To fix this, nations signed a landmark agreement, establishing a shared system and a central authority to maintain it.

For decades, the solution relied on a precisely manufactured metal bar, stored under controlled conditions in a vault near Paris. If that bar changed, even slightly, so did the definition of a metre.

Today, the metre is defined using the speed of light. No physical object required.

💬Do you know what this agreement was called?

in 1796, a doctor tested a radical idea: could exposure to cowpox protect against smallpox?

The inspiration came from an everyday observation - milkmaids rarely caught the deadly disease.

💡That experiment laid the foundation for vaccination, transforming medicine and saving millions of lives.

💬 Can you name the scientist behind this discovery?

Pharmaceutical impurities aren’t just a QC concern - they pose a direct threat to patient safety, regulatory compliance, and manufacturer reputation.

Impurities can emerge at any stage, from manufacturing to packaging. Are your lab’s controls robust enough?

In our latest article, we share:
🔬 Expert insight into the scientific and regulatory principles behind impurity testing
🔬 How high‑quality reference standards help labs safeguard products, ensure compliance, and protect both consumers and the bottom line

📚✨ Welcome to our first edition of the Science Book Club!

This week, we’re thrilled to feature Joe Lackey, our Technical Manager at LGC Standards. Joe recently read The Code Breaker by Walter Isaacson, a compelling portrait of Jennifer Doudna and her groundbreaking work in DNA editing.

Joe highlights the rapid transition from discovery to real-world applications, addressing critical questions about the ethical implications of gene editing. As he puts it, “If you can remove disease, it’s hard to argue against it. But where do we draw the line?”

What are your thoughts on gene editing? Have you read this book or have other recommendations? Got a science book you’d recommend? Let us know in the comments! 👇

How do our secure and expanded storage environments protect sensitive materials at every stage?

From high‑security zones and controlled ambient storage to 24/7 monitored cold and ultra‑low temperature systems, our new facility is designed to ensure traceability, compliance, and the integrity of materials.

By safeguarding our inventory, we provide our customers with the confidence they need, from early research through to regulatory submission.
