Introduction

With the rapid growth of global population, the increased incidence and prevalence of diseases, and the
continuous aging society in major economies, the global demand for pharmaceuticals can only increase. In
order to meet these demands and stand out from the fiercely competitive industry, pharmaceutical companies
need to invest heavily on drug research, development and production. Furthermore, they have to ensure drug
safety, quality and compliance to global pharmaceutical regulations.

As a global leader in analytical instruments and laboratory services, Shimadzu Corporation has always been a
reliable partner for the pharmaceutical industry. We provide comprehensive analytical solutions for all drug
research analysis and productions, and help companies to increase efficiency, reduce cost and ensure drug
safety and quality.

This brochure introduces the various technologies to enhance pharmaceutical workflows and processes. It
demonstrates how liquid chromatography (LC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is applied to
accelerate drug development, monitor production processes and ensure drug quality. Together with the
use of Shimadzu’s laboratory informatics products, such as LabSolutions CS and Laboratory Information
Management System (LIMS), it builds a strict compliance network system and protect the overall data integrity
and management of the laboratory.
