Ultra-Sensitive Laboratory Testing for Workplace Safety and API Monitoring

Our team operates an AIHA-accredited industrial hygiene analytical laboratory, specializing in the ultra-sensitive detection of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in workplace air and surfaces. Using industry-leading techniques such as HPLC, ELISA, and LC/MS/MS, our laboratory supports pharmaceutical and life science companies in ensuring safe working conditions for potent compounds, including cytotoxics and hormone-based drugs. With a focus on accuracy, sensitivity, and regulatory compliance, our lab plays a critical role in exposure assessment, containment verification, and cleaning validation.

Our Method Library

The SafeBridge industrial hygiene laboratory develops analytical methods to help the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry meet their workplace air monitoring and surface sampling requirements.

Our Industrial Hygiene Analytical Laboratory Solutions

See how our accredited analytical laboratory helps clients detect, quantify, and control potent compounds to protect workers and maintain compliance.

Our lab is accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association Laboratory Accreditation Programs (AIHA-LAP, LLC), which confirms adherence to ISO/IEC 17025 standards. This includes validated methods, qualified personnel, rigorous quality controls, and routine proficiency testing to ensure accurate and reliable results.

We develop and validate methods for detecting highly potent APIs, including ADCs, steroids, and peptide hormones—on workplace air and surface samples. Using techniques like LC/MS/MS and ELISA, we achieve picogram-level quantitation and high recovery rates optimized through media and sampling design.

Our lab provides analytical services for air and surface samples collected during industrial hygiene surveys. With a typical turnaround time of three weeks (or expedited service upon request), we support exposure monitoring and compliance verification across client operations.

We analyze surrogate compounds such as naproxen sodium, mannitol, and lactose during containment performance assessments. With detection limits as low as 5 picograms, this testing provides critical data to verify the effectiveness of engineered containment controls.

We evaluate cleaning methods for occupational and product contact surfaces to assist in solvent and process selection. This supports clients’ internal QA/QC programs and ensures residual APIs are reduced to acceptable levels for both safety and regulatory compliance.

Our lab conducts studies on the ability of APIs to permeate through gloves and PPE materials. These assessments guide clients in selecting effective protective gear and help reduce dermal exposure risks for workers handling potent compounds.
