ROCKY MOUNTAIN INSTRUMENTAL LABORATORIES
STATE OF THE ART ANALYTICAL TESTING SERVICES SINCE
1980
970-266-8108
We
provide contract chromatographic and mass
spectrometric analysis (HPLC/MS) of pharmaceuticals (both traditional
drugs and biotechnology products, such as proteins
and peptides and oligonucleotides),
veterinary and human endocrinology, and forensic
toxicology,
including fentanyl, T
HC,
tryptamines,
and other forensic testing and testimony. We now offer assays for certain
antibiotics (cephalosporins and aminoglycosides)
and the insecticide Fipronil. We develop stability-indicating
assays, including degradant identification, for the pharmaceutical industry. We also provide therapeutic
drug monitoring for several less-common drugs, such as Taxol,
Doxorubicin, Tacrolimus, rapamycin
(
Sirolimus.) and Everolimus.
Everything that we do is centered about and united by chemical testing.
We offer HPLC/MS/MS, HPLC/PDA, GC/MS/MS,
FT/IR, Dissolution, and Stability Testing. We are FDA registered and inspected,
follow cGLP protocols, and are CLIA certified. We also are certified by
the Colorado Department of Health to perform clinical and forensic toxicology
testing. We also have a number of
LCMSMS analyses for antibiotics, such as
cephapirin, amoxicillin, and vancomycin.
We provide both clinical and pre-clinical
method development and performance.
Robert
K. Lantz, Ph.D. and Patricia L. Sulik, Ph.D. are the directors of RML.
They may be contacted at 970-266-8108 (voice) or 303-530-1169 (voice and
FAX).

consultants.
-
CONTROLLED RELEASE FORMULATION Several
of our clients have developed many successful controlled release oral dosage
formulations on contract for major pharmaceutical companies. Controlled
release products can have much superior activity and toxicity profiles.
If this is of interest to you, please contact us so that we may assist
you in finding the appropriate experts.
If you would like to suggest other sites of scientific and/or forensic interest, call or write us.
