When Foreign Particles Threaten Product Safety, the Answers Have to Be Definitive

A visible particle in an injectable. An unidentified contaminant in a finished batch. An FDA observation that demands root cause — not speculation. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, particulate contamination isn't just a quality issue; it's a patient safety issue, a regulatory issue, and a production issue, often all at once.

That's the moment most clients reach out to us. They need answers that are specific, defensible, and fast enough to keep a product line moving.

From Identification to Resolution

RJ Lee Group's Pharmaceutical Services Department operates as a cGMP-compliant, ISO 17025-certified, FDA-registered analytical testing laboratory, built specifically around foreign particulate matter investigation. But in practice, this means we don't just tell you what a particle is when it appears where it shouldn't. We tell you where it came from, how it got there, and what to do about it.


Our scientists apply an industrial forensics approach—combining advanced microscopy, spectroscopy, and materials characterization to isolate, identify, and trace contaminants back to their source. Whether the issue is a single complaint sample or a systemic manufacturing problem, the goal is the same: a clear, defensible answer that supports corrective action and satisfies regulatory scrutiny.
