Chemical supply in Dublin, Leinster
QC laboratories at Irish biologics plants, API sites and device manufacturers work under EU GMP, so each material they receive needs traceable paperwork. Around Dublin that demand is concentrated in impurity reference standards, HPLC-grade solvents, APIs, intermediates and biochemicals, complemented by food ingredient companies and contract testing labs. Zemixal ships reference standards with HPLC, NMR, MS or IR data as relevant, and every lot comes with a certificate of analysis and a 16-section GHS SDS. Urgent packs fly from Mumbai or Ahmedabad into Dublin Airport, and larger volumes go by sea from Nhava Sheva or Mundra to Dublin Port after transhipment in a European hub.
