Fordham, UK FAQs

How is the Fordham Analytical Sciences lab different from the Fordham Bioanalytics lab?

They're two separate laboratories on the same Fordham site. This lab, founded in 1997, focuses on separation sciences and elemental analysis, while the Bioanalytics lab next door handles LC-MS and immunoassay bioanalysis.

What are the two lab areas at Fordham Analytical Sciences?

Separation Sciences, which is split into sample management, wet chemistry and instrument areas for efficient workflow, and Elemental Analysis, which is access-controlled and held under positive pressure to reduce contamination risk.

What instrumentation does the lab use for elemental analysis?

The site runs ICP-MS-QQQ and ICP-MS instruments alongside ICP-OES, giving sponsors trace-level elemental impurity detection for pharmaceutical materials.

Is the Fordham Analytical Sciences lab cGMP-compliant?*

Yes. The lab operates to cGMP standards and supports pharmaceutical material testing, method development and regulatory compliance work.

Where is the Fordham Analytical Sciences lab located?

The lab is at Newmarket Road, Fordham, Ely, CB7 5WW, in Cambridgeshire, UK, on the same site as Resolian's Fordham Bioanalytics lab.
