SafeBridge Consultants validates improved hygiene air sampling and analytical method for naproxen sodium

SafeBridge^® Consultants, Inc. (“SafeBridge”) headquartered in Mountain View, California announced today that its industrial hygiene analytical laboratory has recently validated an industrial hygiene air sampling and analytical method with improved analytical sensitivity for measurement of naproxen sodium on filters. SafeBridge now has a validated method that will detect as low as 20 picograms per filter in an air sample collected on appropriate media. This limit of detection is four (4) to five (5) times lower than methods available from other commercial laboratories.

President and CEO John Farris commented, “Naproxen sodium can now be measured at lower concentrations in air which creates an effective tool for organizations involved in handling hazardous materials in powder and liquid forms. This is important to pharmaceutical and chemical companies as well as containment and engineering control vendors. Industrial hygiene studies using sensitive methods can predict potential worker exposures and identify sources of emissions for the purpose of preventing occupational disease. Our chemists have done excellent and scientifically supportable work to meet our customer needs”.

SafeBridge’s industrial hygiene laboratory is accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) for the analysis of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The SafeBridge advantage is the application of the most sensitive techniques in the industry to detect potent drugs at very low concentrations in the workplace. The laboratory routinely develops methods and analyzes samples that contain biologically active pharmaceuticals such as steroid hormones, enzymes, peptide hormones, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) and “cytotoxic” compounds. The SafeBridge laboratory is especially knowledgeable in the development of immunoassays and application of ELISA technology to detect low concentrations of highly potent drugs on filters.
