We support "Manufacturing process development of API and intermediates" to "clinical batch and commercial Production."
Our "Containment Technology" enables to produce the high potent API (HPAPI), hormone API and Beta-lactam antibiotics.
Our Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology and PAT aids the development of robust API process, Spray drying technology enables novel API production.
Counter Jet Mill with Isolator
Counter Jet Mill (Pulverizer) with containment system produces high quality fine API powder. Furthermore, the containment technology robustly protects operators from hazardous compounds exposure.
Spray Dryer is applicable to Commercial Production
Our various types of spray dryer for using organic solvent are applicable to development phase. Additionally, we propose to improve the solubility of API by "solid dispersion" using spray dryer.
■ Capacity of spray dryers
Desk-top Experimental Unit 0.2kg/hr
Investigational medicinal product size production Unit 0.8kg/hr
Commercial size production Unit 5kg/hr
Our professional CMC R&D staff utilizes their experience and technique in new drug development of high quality API and intermediates production process development. We are dedicated to controlling genotoxic and mutagenic impurities in API, and establish the production processes with priority consideration on safety and environmental. In addition, we support to plan strategy for starting material.

Our well experienced operators will produce the investigational medicine by using the GMP compliant software and hardware equipment. We own high pressure reaction unit, crystallizer in-line monitoring and pulverizer in our plant to meet any requjirement of our clients . Also, we can handle high potent material with PDE (Permitted Daily Exposure) value of higher than 10micrg/day.
To evaluate the validity of the established manufacturing method, we also conduct an evaluation of scale up factors at pilot scale.
