Why choose Raw Material Analytical

Absolute Confidence in Pharmaceutical Testing.

Located in Clifton, New Jersey, CS Analytical (CSA), doing business as Raw Material Analytical (RMA), is an FDA-regulated, cGMP contract laboratory built for a single purpose: to deliver absolute confidence in raw material and finished product testing.

We bring unrivaled expertise, world-class quality systems, and uncompromising data integrity to every project. We understand that in pharmaceutical manufacturing, material quality defines product quality.

We don’t just test materials; we deliver the scientific assurance that empowers you to innovate, scale, and bring safe therapies to patients worldwide.

Why Comprehensive Testing is Vital

Rigorous testing is the cornerstone of patient safety and brand integrity. We provide the analytical rigor needed to:

  • Confirm Identity & Purity: Verify every API and excipient meets requirements before production begins.

  • Protect Patient Safety: Detect impurities early to ensure finished products are safe and effective.

  • Ensure Compliance: Generate defensible data for FDA, EMA, and global agency requirements.

  • Reduce Manufacturing Risk: Identify issues before they cause batch failures or recalls.

  • Strengthen Supply Chains: Confirm supplier quality and maintain consistency across lots.
