From phase I product development support to small-scale lab batches to large-scale manufacturing, we can help you reach your production goals.

Lab Batch Production

We are continuously monitoring the market for drug shortages so we can quickly develop and scale-up the production of much-needed medications to support physicians and hospitals in the treatment of their patients.

Lab Batch Production

Large Batch Manufacturing

Our at-scale capabilities allow us to move from lab batch production to large batch manufacturing of up to 1 million doses within 3-4 days –with minimal waste– helping to alleviate drug shortages rapidly.

Large Batch Manufacturing

Scale Up

Our production facility can support the large-scale manufacture of solutions, suspensions, and emulsions (up to 9000 liters), as well as support the formulation process with in-house technology and equipment.

Scale Up

Stability Profiling

We have full-service laboratories for chemistry and microbiology with the infrastructure to manage, conduct, and store stability testing. We employ TLC integration and automation to monitor the conditions of our large-volume storage spaces and electronic inventory management to streamline the stability study process.
