US Labs will Extend Analytical and Solid State Support
October 13, 2009
During summer of 2010, Almac will be opening two new laboratory facilities within its new North American Headquarters in Souderton, Pennsylvania. These will extend Almac’s global reach, and complement existing facilities in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
These facilities will offer a wide range of analytical support services for both drug substance and drug product, including:
- Method development
- Method validation
- Stability testing
- Commercial & clinical batch release testing
Also on offer will be a complete solid state chemistry service utilizing state of the art analytical research and development technologies. The Solid State Chemistry team will specialize in solid form characterization, screening and selection, in addition to crystallization process development.
As regulatory and cost challenges become ever more demanding for complex new drugs, solid form science is increasingly key to drug performance, manufacturing and IP protection
Optimal and well-defined crystal form is the key basis for a robust, large scale crystallization process that will reproducibly deliver consistent material at all key stages in product development.
