These include:
- Wet chemistry area for active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) product & process development
- 3D printing and Design Prototyping capabilities
- Analytical testing for In Progress Control (IPC) support (HPLC, GC, FTIR)
- Breathing simulation platforms for Spacer and inhaler testing
- Aerodynamic Particle Size Distribution (APSD) testing capabilities
- Environmental Climate Chamber simulator
Our R&D laboratories are MDSAP and ISO 13485 certified and compliant to 21 “CFR 820.30”.
The group has also been pivotal in generating an extensive Patent portfolio, covering both API process and Device patented technology.
