Customer Success Story with Portrett Pharmaceuticals

Portrett Pharmaceuticals uses FTIR expedite the analysis of raw materials.

The Challenge

Portrett Pharmaceuticals supports pharmaceutical clients by providing timely, reliable analytical testing for raw materials and API release. They required an FT-IR system capable of enabling rapid testing without compromising quality or regulatory compliance, while integrating seamlessly into their existing laboratory operations.

The Bedrock Scientific Solution

Bedrock Scientific worked closely with Portrett to identify a system tailored to their operational and regulatory needs. A 21 CFR Part 11–compliant PerkinElmer Spectrum Two FT-IR system was selected and successfully installed.

Portrett Pharmaceuticals primarily uses the FT-IR system to perform compendial testing for raw material and API release. The instrument is also used for additional applications, including spectroscopic identification testing in accordance with USP <197>, as well as specialized spectrum collection for compounds such as dimethicone.

The Impact

A recent example highlights the effectiveness of Portrett’s workflow and how seamlessly the new system supports their laboratory operations. A client submitted a raw material for release testing on a Tuesday afternoon. Leveraging their streamlined processes and the efficiency of the FT-IR system, Portrett completed the required analysis and issued the Certificate of Analysis by Friday afternoon. This accelerated turnaround helped the client avoid delays and move forward with confidence.

A Collaborative Success

By partnering with Bedrock Scientific, Portrett Pharmaceuticals selected an instrument that integrates smoothly into their laboratory environment and supports a wide range of analytical applications.

Today, Portrett relies on the FT-IR system across diverse testing needs, adapting to the specific requirements of each project while maintaining rigorous quality standards.

By combining efficient processes with reliable analytical technology, Portrett Pharmaceuticals continues to deliver dependable results to its clients. Bedrock Scientific is proud to support this work and to be part of a partnership centered on quality, efficiency, and customer success.
