Choosing Compounding Ingredients
Ingredient procurement starts with exact identity and intended use: a research reagent and a pharmaceutical raw material should not be treated as interchangeable. For GETSON inquiries, provide the ingredient name, CAS number where applicable, required grade, pack size and quantity. Ask for the proposed manufacturer's specification, batch documentation, remaining shelf life and storage requirements. Selected APIs, excipients and bases remain subject to product review and quotation; a catalogue reference does not confirm suitability for a formulation.
Technical references: CARLO ERBA pharmaceutical industry ranges · Sigma-Aldrich S5897 product information. CARLO ERBA describes pharmaceutical raw-material and excipient ranges. The Sigma-Aldrich sheet illustrates a research-only product restriction; neither reference establishes suitability of a proposed API or formulation. Confirm availability, documents and service terms for the proposed item in the quotation.
What should an ingredient quotation specify?
Request the exact material identity, intended application, required grade, proposed manufacturer and pack size. Have your responsible quality team review available specifications and batch documents before accepting any proposed substitute.
