A single defective condom or counterfeit medication can endanger lives. Our Product Quality and Compliance laboratories in Thailand and the United States ensure that contraceptives, pharmaceuticals and medical devices and supplies are safe and effective and comply with international standards. Our chemical analysis of drugs can detect counterfeit medications, an increasing threat in the global marketplace, and our state-of-the-art equipment has enabled us to assure high-efficiency quality testing of male and female condoms.
