According to the sales results, the leaders were:

• Paracetamol;
• Inosine;
• Vildagliptin.

There is a high need for quality control of both widely used active substances and modern pharmaceutical substances," says Elena Tereshchuk, Head of the NCSS's Procurement and Sales Department.
For laboratories, this is a daily analytical practice, and for manufacturers, it is the basis for stable production.
NCSS continues to develop its portfolio of reference materials, focusing on the real needs of the market and quality assurance tasks at all stages – from development to the release of finished medicines.
