Quality Control

「The Quality Control Department and Quality Assurance Division work together seamlessly to continually enhance the quality of our products on a daily basis.」

At Oda Pharmaceutical, we prioritize quality and safety to ensure our customers can use our products with confidence. Our Quality Control Department and Quality Assurance Division work together closely to manage the quality at every stage, from the acceptance of raw materials to the final use of the product. We follow a "real-world," "realistic," and "actual" approach, collaborating with the manufacturing site to achieve a high level of quality control.

Testing for raw materials and products.

The quality control department conducts various tests from the acceptance of raw materials to the shipment of products to ensure thorough management, with the goal of not allowing defective items into the factory, not producing them within the factory, and not sending them out.

Utilizing equipment such as HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography), GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry), AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry), as well as microbiological testing and sensory evaluation, we conduct in-house quality checks for all raw materials used in the factory. Additionally, rigorous inspections are performed on the products to ensure compliance with established standards.

Maintaining Analytical Accuracy through Thorough Maintenance Checks

Otsuka Pharmaceutical places great emphasis on maintaining a rigorous management system to ensure the accuracy of analytical instruments. The precise functioning of analytical instruments directly affects product quality, making their management extremely important.

We regularly commission external experts to perform equipment inspections and calibrations of scales, sensors, and other components to ensure the accuracy of the instruments. Additionally, we conduct monthly routine inspections and daily pre-use checks to thoroughly verify the accuracy of the equipment.

Through these meticulous maintenance and inspection activities, we maintain the accuracy of our analytical instruments and establish a foundation for providing high-quality products. We remain committed to ensuring customer satisfaction and peace of mind through our dedication to quality.

Manufacturing Management

A unified approach to safety in collaboration with the manufacturing department.

Each of our factories actively engages in 5S activities and general hygiene management. While each of these activities, such as organization and cleanliness, handwashing, equipment and facility management, pest control, and more, may not be difficult individually, maintaining all of them consistently is not an easy task.

The Quality Management department conducts regular inspections in the field to ensure a hygienic environment, provides guidance on handwashing to employees, and organizes workshops to aim for advanced hygiene management. Through these efforts, the Quality Management department collaborates with the Manufacturing department to work together as one in the manufacturing process.

These initiatives are essential elements in ensuring the quality and safety of our products, playing a crucial role in delivering reliable products to our customers. We will continue our ongoing efforts to provide even better products.

Our advanced analytical system is in place to ensure the safety and trust of our customers.

We have a comprehensive analytical system in place to address inquiries and concerns from our customers. In cases where analysis is required, we utilize tools such as FT-IR (Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) and microscopes to conduct detailed analysis. Furthermore, if necessary, we collaborate with third-party organizations to establish the highest level of analytical capability.

Providing our customers with reliable and accurate analysis results in response to their needs is one of the key missions of our Quality Assurance Department. We prioritize the safety and peace of mind of our customers, and have established a system to address all analytical requirements.
