Independent Sourcing Consultant
I help compounding pharmacies and formulation laboratories source, test, and qualify pharmaceutical-grade raw materials from global suppliers — so you can focus on what you compound, not where it comes from.

Every laboratory has different formulation needs. I offer modular services you can use individually or as an end-to-end pipeline.
Identification and vetting of manufacturers and distributors for APIs, excipients, and specialty chemicals. I negotiate pricing, verify credentials, and consolidate orders across multiple labs to unlock volume discounts.
Every Certificate of Analysis is reviewed against pharmacopeial standards before material ships. I cross-reference assay results, impurity profiles, and residual solvents so nothing reaches your lab unverified.
I arrange independent third-party lab testing for identity, purity, and potency. You receive the report before committing to a bulk order — reducing risk and protecting your formulations.
Coordination of international shipments including customs documentation, cold-chain requirements, and regulatory paperwork for controlled or restricted substances entering the EU market.
Hands-on guidance for compounding workflows: vehicle selection, excipient compatibility, solubility enhancement (cyclodextrin inclusion, co-solvents), and sterile filtration protocols for injectable and topical preparations.
I coordinate consolidated orders across multiple laboratories, pooling volume to negotiate better unit pricing from manufacturers. You get wholesale rates without wholesale minimums.
How it works
No middlemen, no opacity. You stay informed at every stage.
You share what you need: compound, grade, quantity, and timeline. I assess feasibility and identify the best sourcing strategy.
I contact vetted suppliers, request quotes, and negotiate terms. You receive a shortlist with pricing, lead times, and supplier profiles.
COA review, optional independent lab testing, and supplier audit. Nothing moves forward without your approval and documented quality evidence.
I manage the order, track shipment, handle customs clearance where needed, and confirm receipt. Full documentation delivered with every batch.
About
I'm an independent consultant based in Madrid, Spain, working at the intersection of pharmaceutical sourcing and compounding practice. My background combines hands-on formulation experience with years of supplier relationship management across Europe and Asia.
I started LabGrade Source because I saw the same problem in every small compounding lab I worked with: finding reliable, tested raw materials at fair prices shouldn't require a procurement department. Most labs are run by scientists, not buyers — and that's exactly the gap I fill.
I work directly with manufacturers in China, India, the EU, and the US, and I personally review every COA and coordinate third-party testing when needed. My clients range from independent compounding pharmacies to research-stage formulation labs.
