Pilot Plant
Services

What we Do

We accelerate formulation and process development with a versatile pilot plant spanning lab to clinical scale, including nanomanufacturing platforms for nano-enabled drug delivery, hot-melt extrusion lines at multiple throughputs for ASDs and complex formulations, spray dryers from bench to pilot for scalable particle engineering, tablet presses ranging from single-punch R&D units to high-throughput rotary machines, broad milling options using multiple technologies, wet granulation with low- and high-shear mixers and fluid bed systems, and advanced coating capabilities for diverse oral and specialized dosage forms.

Services

  • End to end process development and scale up (batch & continuous)
  • Manufacture of non GMP clinical scale batches and feasibility runs
  • Process optimization, PAT implementation and troubleshooting
  • Handling of highly potent (OEB4), controlled and ATEX relevant processes

Flexible “hotel-style” R&D access to specialized pilot equipment and on-site technical staff, expanding your capabilities without capital investment.

Your team develops on-site in our pilot plant, leveraging our infrastructure and expertise to iterate faster while maintaining full creative and scientific control.

Quick-turnaround pilot-scale trials to confirm technical feasibility, generate decision-enabling data, and de-risk commercial scale-up.

Dedicated support to convert batch processes into continuous operations, improving efficiency, consistency, and scalability.

Amorphous solid dispersion development via hot-melt extrusion and spray drying to overcome solubility limits and boost exposure.

Formulation development across oral, parenteral, inhalation, and mucosal delivery routes to match your target product profile.

High-quality non-GMP batches to support formulation and process feasibility work, as well as preclinical stability and compatibility studies.

Secure handling and development of highly potent compounds up to OEB4 and controlled/addictive substances within specialized containment infrastructure.
