Our Approach to Formulation and Process Development
Our team’s expertise in formulation and process development will be an asset throughout the process of developing your new project. We will save you time and resources on the journey of developing processes and guide you toward the rapid introduction of new products to the market.
After formulation and process development activities are completed, we will stay on the project as required, through technology transfer and commercial process validation, until you validate and implement the process in the commercial manufacturing facility of choice.
This approach ensures a smooth hand-over of the process from the development group to the validation and manufacturing groups, and eliminates costly duplication of time and effort.
